The ladder, wall and floor form a right triangle, The angle where the wall and floor meets should be 90 degrees. We know the ladder and the ground makes an angle of 45 degrees, so the last angle must also be 45 degrees since all inner angles of a triangle add to 180.
In this case, we are looking for the hypotenuse. The question tells us the distance of one leg, 7 ft. Since the angle for the ladder and the wall is also 45 degrees, the second leg must also be 7 ft.
Plug this into the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) where c is the hypotenuse.
49+49=c^2
98=c^2
c=approx 9.899
The final answer is about 9.899 ft

Solve the equation square root of x plus three plus four equals five for the variable. Show each step of your solution process
alekssr [168]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\sqrt{x+3}+4=5

We group the constant terms on the right hand side to obtain;

\sqrt{x+3}=5-4

\Rightarrow \sqrt{x+3}=1

We square both sides of the equation to remove the square root.

\Rightarrow (\sqrt{x+3})^2=1^2

x+3=1

This will simplify to;

x=1-3

x=-2

Find C.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

C=69.1^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines is given as:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C.

Plugging in given values, we get:

16^2=8^2+17^2-2\cdot 8\cdot 17\cdot \cos C,\\\cos C=\frac{-97}{-272},\\C=\arccos(\frac{97}{272}),\\C=\fbox{$69.1^{\circ}$}.

For a standard normal distribution (µ=0, σ=1), the area under the curve less than 1.25 is 0.894. What is the approximate percent
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

10.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal curves are symmetrical.  That means that on a standard normal distribution,  the area less than -1.25 is the same as the area greater than +1.25.  The total area under the curve is 1, so:

P = 1 - 0.894

P = 0.106

Approximately 10.6% of the area under the curve lies below -1.25.
