Answer:

\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

    |\

    |  \

x   |    \      9

    |      \

    |        \                  

    |_____\

    4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

However, we already know the hypotenuse and one leg. Therefore we can substitute inside the equation to find the missing value.

a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2\\\\a^2 + 20.25 = 81\\\\a^2 = 60.75\\\\a \approx 7.79

Hope this helped!

Answer:

52 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For each chord, the product of segment lengths is a constant. We can find that constant as the product of the segment lengths of the bisected chord:

(24 ft)·(24 ft) = 576 ft^2

Then the missing segment length (DX) of the diameter chord is ...

DX·(36 ft) = 576 ft^2

DX = (576 ft^2)/(36 ft) = 16 ft

So, the total length of the diameter chord is ...

DX +XL = 16 ft + 36 ft

DL = 52 ft

_____

We know DL is a diameter because the perpendicular bisector of any chord intersects the center of the circle.

The shampoo you like to use is on sale. But you only get the lower price if you buy 3 bottles. You want to know how much you'll
dmitriy555 [2]
Hi there,

The equation to this is going to be : c = 3r - 3s

If you want to get the lower price down you are going to have to buy 3 shampoo bottles in order to get a lower price. The cost you save is the main difference from a regular price. And the answer is c = 3r - 3s

So you write into the table that x = 1 then y will equal 1*1.5 which equal to 1.5. So under x = 1 in y table you write y = 1.5, and so on

What does f(-1) =_<br> and x=_ ?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

F(-1) = 1

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Assume that f(-1) = y1

So that point A (x1 = -1; y1) is a point lying in the graph representing the equation y = f(x)

As it can be seen in the figure, the graph representing that equation crosses point (-1; 1)

=> Point A has y1 = 1

=> f (-1) =1

2) Assume that f(x2) = -2

So that point B (x2; y2 = -2) is a point on the graphy representing the equation y = f(x)

As indicated in the figure, the graph crosses point (3; -2)

=> Point B has x2 = 3

=> When f(x) = -2, x = 3
