Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to
square both sides
------> equation
Step 3
equate equation and equation
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is

Answer:
1. The amount of time you keep your porch light on.
2. The temperature you keep your air conditioner at.
Step-by-step explanation:

You keep your porch light on for 24 hours a day for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $50.
Next month you keep your porch light on for 12 hours a day and your electricity bill is $40.
<u>Air Conditioner Temp Example: </u>
The thermostat temperature is not effected by the bill, thus its independent, but the bill is effected by the thermostat, thus dependent.
You set your thermostat to 70 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $50.
Next month you set your thermostat to 75 degrees for 1 month, that month your electricity bill is $40.
