Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Your answer will be x= -4y/3 + 55/3
Recipe 1 : 4 cups oj with 6 cups pineapple.....ratio of 4/6 reduces to 2/3
recipe 2 : 6 cups oj with 9 cups pineapple...ratio 6/9 reduces to 2/3
recipe 3 : 9 cups oj with 12 cups pineapple....ratio 9/12 reduces to 3/4
so recipe 1 and recipe 2 will taste the same because the ratios are the same...and recipe 3 will be the different tasting one because it has a different ratio mixture
1/3+1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
