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.

Which graph best represents the relationship between time and the number of teams registered?
alexdok [17]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The complete question is in the attached file. So we have to choose between two graphs. On of them is a linear model while the other is an exponential model. From the statements, we have a relationship between time and the number of teams registered. So we can establishes variables in the following form:

x:\text{Time} \\ \\ y:\text{Number of teams registered}

We also know that each week 6 teams register to participate, so:

\bullet \ \text{For week 0:} \rightarrow \text{0 teams registered} \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{For week 1:} \rightarrow \text{6 teams registered} \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{For week 2:} \rightarrow \text{12 teams registered (Because 6+12)} \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{For week 3:} \rightarrow \text{18 teams registered (Because 12+6)}

As you can see, as x increases one week, y increases at a constant ratio of 6. Therefore, this can be modeled by a linear function given by the form:

y=6x

In conclusion, <em>the linear model (first graph below) is the one that bests represents  the relationship between time and the number of teams registered.</em>

WORTH 50! WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST! PLEASE SHOW STEPS! THANK YOU!
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Re-order terms so constants are on the left
15 * x/9 - 42 =28

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction
15x/9 - 42 = 28

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
5x/3 - 42 = 28
