It form a right triangle
legnth of ladder is hypotonuse
bottom of ladder from wall distance is one leg
distance up wall is other leg
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse and a and b are legs

4^2+b^2=20^2
16+b^2=400
minus 16 both sides
b^2=384
sqrt both sides
b=8√6 ft
aprox
b=19.59ft from ground

The length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 77 yd^2. Find the dimension
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

W=7 and L=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.

First the problem states that  length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10

Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77

Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.

3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0

(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0

W = -11/3 and/or W=7

Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.

So W=7

Plug that into the first equation.

3(7)-10= 11 so L=11

The interest paid on a $8,000 loan is $600, a rate of 4%
weeeeeb [17]

It took 1.9 years to pay back the loan.

<h3>What is Interest ?</h3>

Interest is the amount of money given or received when a certain sum of amount is received as a loan or given or deposited for investment.

It is given that

Principal amount of loan = $ 8000

Interest paid = $ 600

Rate = 4%

Time Period = ?

Assuming Simple Interest has been applied

I = ( P* R* T) /100

600 = ( 8000 * 4 * T ) / 100

60000 = 8000 * 4 * T

T = 1.875 years

T = 1.9 years rounded to 1 decimal

T = 22.5 months

Therefore it took 1.9 years to pay back the loan.
