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."

Find the amount of time.<br><br> I=$450, P=$2400, r=7.5%
Aliun [14]

~You need to set this problem up in the I=PRT form. This should be your formula then, 450=2400(.075)(t). Then do 2400 times .075 and then times that by t which equals 180t. To get rid of that t then take 450 divided by 180 and you get 2.5. Remember when working with rates put them in decimal form also but your time in years.

I hope this helps you:)
