Answer:

L = 5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder, the vertical wall and the ground form a right triangle. We call A and B the ends points of the ladder ( at the wall, and the ground)

If we call L the lenght of the leadder, we get

L² = y² + x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

0 = 2y Dy/dt  +  2x Dx/dt

We know that Dy/dt = - 0,675 m/s (is sliding down , is decreasing)

And when x = 3 m  Dx/dt = 0,9 m/s

So we  can get y

0 = 2y*( -0,675) + 2*3*0,9

1,35y  =  5,4

y =   5.4 /1,35    ⇒   y = 4

And  L²  = y² + x²    ⇒  L  = √ (4)² + (3)²   ⇒  L √16 + 9

L = 5 m

3. What is the surface area of the triangular prism shown below?
jekas [21]

Answer:

1233cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

a of triangle = 1/2 bh

1/2 x 12 x 9 = 54

108 x 2 = 108

a of regtangle = l x w

25 x 15 = 375

375 x 3 = 1125

total surface area = 1125 + 108 = 1233cm^2

Chen buys 4 tickets to a soccer game. The total cost before taxes is $80. Which equation would you use to determine the price, p
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

A. 4p=80

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of 4 tickets=$80

Price=p

Quantity=4

Total cost=price×quantity

80=p×4

80=4p

80=4p is the equation that can be used to determine price

From the equation

80=4p

Divide both sides by 4

80/4=4p/4

20=p

Price is $20 per ticket
