Answer:

x = 22,63 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the house, the ladder and the ground form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the ladder  ( 24 ft) and the legs are the side of the house (x uknown ) and the other leg, is distance between bottom of the ladder and the side of the house, therefore

Pytagoras Theorem :

H²  = L₁²  + L₂²    

(24)²   =  (8)²  +  x²

x²  = (24)²  - (8)²

x²  = 576  -  64   ⇒  x²  = 512

x = 22,63 ft

Answer:

22.63 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle ABC attached,

AB is the length of the ladder which is the hypotenuse

AC is the distance of the ladder's bottom from the house.

We are to determine how far up the side of the house the ladder will reach.

We apply <u>Pythagoras Theorem</u> to solve this.

\overline{AB}^2=\overline{AC}^2+\overline{BC}^2\\24^2=8^2+\overline{BC}^2\\\overline{BC}^2=576-64\\\overline{BC}^2=512\\BC=\sqrt{512}=22.63 ft

The ladder will reach 22.63 ft (correct to 2 decimal places) up the wall of the house.

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A subset simply refers to a set whose elements are all members of a larger set.

Going by the definition :

The set of people born in the U.S is a subset of the set of people who are U. S citizens because citizenship in the U. S is not only attained by birth.

The set of Java students are all members of the set containing students studying a programming language, hence, The set of students studying Java is a subset of the set of students studying a programming language because Java is just one of the many different types of programming languages

PLEASE HELP!<br><br> Reduce to simplest form.<br> 5/8 - (- 7/2)
Daniel [21]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf 4\frac{1}{8} }

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf =\frac{5}{8} - (-\frac{7}{2} )\\\\Rule : ( - *- = +)\\\\\=\frac{5}{8} +\frac{7}{2} \\\\LCM = 8\\\\\=\frac{5+28}{8} \\\\\=\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}

\sf =\frac{5}{8}+ \frac{7}{2}  \\\\=\frac{5+28}{8}

\sf =\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}

Hope this helped!
