The slant height, x, is 7.5 mm because you use the pythagorean formula and solve for c, since the you're solving for the hypotenuse which is the longest side.
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."
Was there a typo in the possible answers by any chance? B is closest to the possible answer, but only if the division sign was a multiplication sign.

Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-5)=9
3x-15=9
3x-15+15=9+15
3x=24
x=8
Answer:
below
Step-by-step explanation:
IF l₁ and l₂ are parallel, then:
Angles 2, 4, 5, 8 all equal 86 degrees
Then angles 1, 6, 3 , 8 all equal 180 - 86 which is 94 degrees
