Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:

hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L

horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6

vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3

So, we can use Pythagoras formula:

A2 +B2= C2

(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²

L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²

L2 -18L+45 =0

APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:

L =15 OR L=3

If L=3

Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)

So L=15

Answer:

0.25m or 1/4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Height of Dorsal Fin = 1/6 of Length of whale Sculpture,

and given length of whale sculpture = 1.5m or 1\frac{1}{2} m\\

Height of Dorsal fin on scuplture = (\frac{1}{6})(1\frac{1}{2} )\\

= (\frac{1}{6} )(\frac{3}{2}) \\= \frac{3}{12} \\= \frac{1}{4}m or 0.25m

Can anyone help!<br> WITH STEPS!
MissTica

Answer:

When we have something like:

\sqrt[n]{x}

It is called the n-th root of x.

Where x is called the radicand, and n is called the index.

Then the term:

\sqrt[4]{16}

is called the fourth root of 16.

And in this case, we can see that the index is 4, and the radicand is 16.

At the end, we have the question: what is the 4th root of 16?

this is:

\sqrt[4]{16} = \sqrt[4]{4*4}  = \sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2} = 2

The 4th root of 16 is equal to 2.

A cryptographic hash takes a message as input and produces a fixed-length string as output, called the digital fingerprint. A br
Allushta [10]

Answer:

1.85x10^{19} attempts are required to find a matching pair if the digital fingerprint is 64 bits long.

3.40*10^{38} attempts are required to find a matching pair if the digital fingerprint is 128 bits long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each bit has two options. So

How many attempts are required to find a matching pair if the digital fingerprint is 64 bits long?

So for each of the 64 bits, we have the following number of options.

2 - 2 - 2 - 2 -... - 2

So, in all, there are

T = 2^{64} = 1.85x10^{19}

options.

So, 1.85x10^{19} attempts are required to find a matching pair if the digital fingerprint is 64 bits long.

128 bits long?

Using the same logic as the first question.

T = 2^{128} = 3.40*10^{38}

So, 3.40*10^{38} attempts are required to find a matching pair if the digital fingerprint is 128 bits long.

Answer:

B) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 pairs of data in the table but only 7 points plotted in the graph,

hence there must be 1 point that is missing from the graph.

It turns out that the missing point that was not plotted is (10, 2.5)
