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."

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -5, and the tenth term is 13.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The common difference is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

a1 = -5

a10 = 13

Substituting n=10 a10=13 and a1 =-5

13 = -5 +d (10-1)

13 = -5 +9d

Add 5 to each side

13+5 = -5+5 +9d

18 = 9d

Divide each side by 9

18/9 = 9d/9

2 =d

iren [92.7K]

Answer: The correct answer is 11 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: In order to solve this problem you need to replace y with $27.

27 = 2x + 5

Subtract 5 from each side:

22 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

11 = x

Therefore, she has enough money to travel up to 11 miles.
