Josh leans the ladder against a side of her house which is 10 feet. If the base of the latter is 3 feet away from the house, how

tall is the ladder? ( use Pythagorean theorem )
Mathematics

Galina-37 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

\sqrt{109}

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the house is a side of the right triangle.

The ladder is 3 feet away, so it forms a triangle with sides 3, 10, x.

We're trying to find the hypotenuse, which is given by Pythagoras' Theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\3^2 + 10^2 = x^2\\109 = x^2\\x = \sqrt{109}

Graph the system of inequalities presented here on your own paper, then use your graph to answer the following questions: y <
Mandarinka [93]
Part A:
 The first thing you should do is to graph both lines. Notice that one is of positive slope and another of negative slope.
 The solution of the inequation system is given by the shaded region. That is, all the points that are in the shaded region satisfy the system of inequations.
 Part B:
 the point (-2, -2) is NOT included in the solution area (it is not in the shaded region.
 Mathematically it is demonstrated by substituting inequalities and seeing that they are not satisfied
 inequality 1
 -2 <4 (-2) - 2
 -2 <-10 (false)
 inequality two
 -2> = - (5/2) (- 2) - 2
 -2> = 3 (false).

Which of the sets of three dimensions could make a right triangle ​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

B) 6, 8, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

All right triangles will follow the following theorem (Pythagorean theorem):

a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are two legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. Out of all answer choices, only B) 6, 8, 10 follow this theorem.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

(24, 224 ) i.e. 24 basketball and 224 footballs

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Basketball :</em>

uses 4 ounces of foam

20 minutes of labor

profit = $2.50

<em>Football :</em>

uses 3 ounces of foam

30 minutes of labor

profit = $2

Manufacturer has :

768 ounces of foam , 120 labor hours per week,

<u>using the simplex method to determine the optimal production schedule so as to maximize profits </u>

lets assume

x = number of basketball

y = number of footballs

maximize = 2.5 x + 2y  from a linear programming problem

attached below is the detailed solution
