Answer:
12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
As a ladder is leaning against a house, it forms right angle triangle. And for right angleΔ, we use Pythagoras theorem.i.e
P²+B²= H²
Where,
'P' is perpendicular i.e the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground
'B' is base i.e be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house
'H' is hypotenuse i.e 13
considering 'x' as perpendicular
So, base would be 'x-7'
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
x² + (x-7)²= 13²
x² +x² -14x +49 =169
2x² -14x -120= 0
x² -7x -60=0 ----> solving the quadratic equation
x² + 5x -12x-60=0
x(x+5) -12(x+5)=0
Either : x+5=0 => x=-5
OR: x-12=0 => x=12
We'll choose the positive length.
therefore , The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 12 feet
Um your picture wont show do it again
-20 because 40 is a positive and spent is negative
Answer:
x is equal to 4.3
Step-by-step explanation:
since it's -4.3 + x is equal to 0
you take -4.3 to the other side of the equal sign which makes it positive and x is equal to 4.3
Answer:
B) 30
Step-by-step explanation:
bottom of graph represents number of tickets, look for 6 then go up till you hit the dot now go to the other side of the graph ( costs) and see which number the line hit which is 30
