Answer: The other side is 12 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
23.24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c², where a and b are legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
In this situation, the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the distance from the base of the building is the long leg.
Plug in the ladder length as c and plug in the distance from the base of the building as a:
a² + b² = c²
(6²) + b² = (24)²
36 + b² = 576
b² = 540
b = 23.24
So, the ladder reaches approximately 23.24 feet up the wall
21. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are supplementary (add to 180°).
m∠R = m∠P = 180° -m∠Q
m∠Q = 107°
m∠P = 73°
25. If you draw any diagonal, it divides the figure into two congruent triangles (by the SSS postulate). Corresponding angles are congruent, so the diagonal is a transversal between parallel lines. Thus opposite sides are parallel and the figure is a parallelogram.
27. Opposite sides are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other. Your four equations are
2w+4 = 5w-6 . . . . w = 10/3
12 = 3x-3 . . . . . . . x = 5
6y = 4y+6 . . . . . . . y = 3
27 = (5/4)z +2 . . . z = 20
