Hi there!

$\huge\boxed{6cm}$

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve:

Use the formula a² + b² = c² where:

"a" and "b" are the legs

"c" = Hypotenuse

The diagonal side, or the length of the ladder is 10cm, and one of the legs of the triangle is 8cm, therefore:

(8)² + b² = 10²

64 + b² = 100

Subtract 64 from both sides:

b² = 36

Take the square root of both sides:

√b² = √36

b = 6 cm. This is the distance of the wall from the foot of the letter.

Edit: Typo.

Answer:

6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you imagine the sentence, it is a right angled triangle. In this case, it's a Pythagoras Theorem. The formula for it is:

a²(opposite) + b²(adjacent) = c²(hypotenuse)

The vertical wall is the opposite, the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is the adjacent, while the ladder is the hypotenuse.

We have the measurements except for the adjacent. So it will be:

c² - a² = b²

10² - 8² = b²

100 - 64 = b²

36 = b²

√36 = b

b = 6 cm

The answer is 6 cm.

Tabitha wants to hang a painting in a gallery. The painting and frame must have an area of 58 square feet. The painting is 7 fee

lianna [129]

The quadratic equation would be;
x2+15x-2=0

Working:
Assuming the area around the painting i.e the frame, has a uniform thickness, then;
Length of painting and frame = 8+x
Breadth of painting and frame= 7+x

The area from above step gives;
A= LxW
A= (8+x)(7+x)
On expanding, 56+8x+7x+x2
On simplifying,
56+15x+x2. This should be equal to 58.
58=x2+15x+56
Taking 58 to the other side,
x2+15x-2=0

PLEASE HELP!!! PLZ!!!

Helen [10]

We can use the vertex form
$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$
to find the equation of the graph. We know that a is the coefficient, and since the graph opens upwards and is slightly stretched vertically, we know that a is 1/3. On the graph, we see that the vertex of the parabola is at (0,-1). Therefore, h is 0 and k is -1.
Our vertex form equation is
$y = \frac{1}{3} {x}^{2} - 1$
Which is D

Answer:

From <u>fourth</u> month onwards, the growth rate of $f(x)$ is greater than that of $g(x)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The growth rates of both bank accounts are given as:

$f(x)=3^x\\g(x)=5x+25$

Now, as per question, we need to find the value of 'x' when the value of $f(x)>g(x)$ . Or,

$3^x>5x+25$

Now, we can do this by checking the values of 'x' by hit and trial method.

Let $x=1$ . The inequality becomes:

$3^1>5(1)+25\\3>30(False)$

Let $x=2$ . The inequality becomes:

$3^2>5(2)+25\\9>35(False)$

Let $x=3$ . The inequality becomes:

$3^3>5(3)+25\\27>40(False)$

Let $x=4$ . The inequality becomes:

$3^4>5(4)+25\\81>45(True)$

Therefore, the value of 'x' for which $f(x)>g(x)$ is 4.

So, from the fourth month onwards, the balance in $f(x)$ becomes greater than $g(x)$ .

The graphical solution is shown below to support the same.

From the graph, we can conclude that after the 'x' value equals 3.4, the graph of $f(x)$ lies above of $g(x)$ . Hence, $f(x)>g(x)$ for $x>3.4$

Find the slope of line passing through the points (5,9) and (5,-2)

Ulleksa [173]

$\sf~m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(5, 9), (5, -2)
x1 y1 x2 y2

Plug in what we know:

$\sf~m=\dfrac{-2-9}{5-5}$

Subtract:

$\sf~m=\dfrac{-11}{0}$

We can't divide by zero, so:

$\sf~m=\boxed{\sf~Unde~\!\!\!\!~fined}$

sweet [91]

Hey can you retype the equation for 5 with the equal sign. All you can do is substitute 0 in h(t) and solve. If you don’t know how to I’ll gladly help you but plz retype the function so I know what it looks like.
