Andrew can reach a maximum of
high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the
ratio. that is

where
is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for
, we get

Since Andrew can reach an extra
above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

0.5 of a mile - since 5,280ft = 1 mile and half of 5,280 is 2,640
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is A.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>
- 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
- => 2x - 4 - 6
- => 2x - 10
When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.
<u>Marty's mistake</u>
- Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
- He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.
