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

53 gal 1 qt + 12 gal 3 qt + 82 gal 1 qt = ?​
mario62 [17]

Given:

53 gal 1 qt + 12 gal 3 qt + 82 gal 1 qt

To find:

The sum of the given expression.

Solution:

Let us first add gallons:

53 gal + 12 gal + 82 gal = 147 gal

Now, add quarts.

1 qt + 3 qt + 1 qt = 5 qt

We know that,

4 quarts = 1 gallon

So add 1 gallon to 147 gal.

147 gal + 5 qt = 147 gal + 4 qt + 1 qt

                      = 147 gal + 1 gal + 1 qt

                      = 148 gal + 1 qt

                      = 148 gal 1 qt

Therefore, 53 gal 1 qt + 12 gal 3 qt + 82 gal 1 qt = 148 gal 1 qt

Figure A maps to figure B with a scale factor of 2/3 -> Every single side of figure B equal to 2/3 of its corresponding side on triangle A.

So, we can find x by taking 10.5 x 2/3 = 7

-> x = 7

Describe the trend/correlation<br> shown in the scatter plot below
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Negative correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative correlation means that as x increases, y decreases

Positive correlation means that as x increases, y also increases.

No correlation means that neither of the two above cases happens.

In the graph, we can see that on the right (when x is negative) the general y values are larger.

As x increases, the y-values decrease.

(Particularly, we could adjust these data with a linear equation with a negative slope)

Then this is a negative correlation.

△ABC with vertices at A(−1,−1) , B(4,−4) , and C(2,−6) is dilated by a scale factor of 32 to create △A′B′C′ . The center of dila
Zinaida [17]

When D is the center of dilation, and k is the dilation factor, the image point is

... B' = k(B -D) +D

Filling in the given values, we have

... B' = 32((4, -4) -(5, -6)) +(5, -6)

... = 32(-1, 2) +(5, -6)

... = (-32, 64) +(5, -6)

... B' = (-27, 58)
