Given:
bottom of the plank or ground is 9 feet from the wall
length of the plant is 41 ft
height of the wall is unknown.

Let us use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²
a² + (9ft)² = (41ft)²
a² + 81 ft² = 1,681 ft²
a² = 1,681 ft² - 81 ft²
a² = 1,600 ft²
√a² = √1,600 ft²
a = 40 ft

The height of the wall is 40 ft.

True [87]

Answer:

F is independent, g is dependent.

You can tell that because of the second sentence: "the number of frames she has determines the number of gifts she can create." So the number of gifts, g is dependent of F, and F is independent.
