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."

Please help!!!!!

Your answer is 80. A triangle’s angles add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, you need to subtract 30 and 70 from 180 to find your answer: 180-(30+70)=80 or 180-70-30=80

What are the slope and the y intercept of the graph of the liner function shown on the grid
kow [346]
To find the slope use the Rise over Run rule
It rises 2 units and runs 1 unit, so your slope is
2 or 2/1

To find the y-intercept just find where the line crosses the y-axis
it crosses at the -4 mark

Your slope is 2 and y-intercept is -4

You need to prove that <A = <E
since c is the midpoint of line AE then AC = EC
i dont remember the name of the theroem that states that when a triangle has two sides and an angle in common that it is congruent i think it called SAS congruence therom. use that to prove that the <| s are congruent then use CPCTC to prove that <A = <E. then prove that they are || by usint the int angle therom.
