Answer:

b= 9.17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 feet from the wall is the bottom part of the triangle. The 10 ft. ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem and substitute the known values.

a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2+b^2=10^2

Then square all the known values

16+b^2=100

Then get b by itself

b^2=-16+100

add -16 and 100

b^2=84

and finally square root both sides of the equation

b=9.16515 ft or 9.17 ft

You can draw a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel lines and no right angles?
bonufazy [111]
Yes you can. The quadrilateral that you would get is called parallelogram. It has 2 paris of parallel lines. and 2 pairs of equal angles. one pair is angles that are less than 90 degrees and other one is where 2 angles are greater than 90 degrees each. Therefore there isnt any right angle there and you got yourself quadrilateral. of these 2 parallel lines are of equal lenght than you get something called rhombus.

Marrrta [24]
This is one of the special right triangles known as a 30, 60, 90 triangle. (Characterized by its angles)

In these triangles, the shortest leg is HALF the length of the hypotenuse.

The longest leg is (√3) times the length of the short leg.

Therefore, the shortest leg is 20, and the longest leg is 20(√3)

FINAL ANSWER:

SHORT LEG: 20 units

LONG LEG: 20√3 units
