1/12 because you subtract 4 and 16 and you get 12

How we can more simply put what we need in wording?

Basically, we need to find the equal denominator, and find how many 1/16=1/4.

We can find this simply by dividing. To find 1/4 of 1/16, we need to divide 16 by four.

That answer is 4, so the answer would be 4 runners!

Hope this helps!

Two ladders are leaning against a building, forming two similar triangles as shown below. The top of the longer ladder is 28 fee

postnew [5]

Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem

We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;

We make reference to the diagram

Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;

Thus;

20/15 = 28/x + 15

20(x + 15) = 15(28)

20x + 300 = 420

20x = 420-300

20x = 120

x = 120/20

x = 6

So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft

To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the hypotenuse be marked x

x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2

x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft

What is the measure of the missing angle

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you take 57 and since it is a right triangle you take 90 and add them together. You will get 147. You will then minus this from 180 to get 33.

The value of x will be equal to 2.477.

<h3>What is a logarithm?</h3>

The logarithm is the inverse function of exponentiation in mathematics. That is, the logarithm of a given number x is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base b, must be raised in order to obtain that number x.

The given expression will be solved as follows;-

$5^{x-2}= 8$
