Answer: the top of the ladder is 24.7 ft from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height,h from the top of the ladder to the base of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the the height, h that the ladder reaches, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

25² = h² + 4²

625 = h² + 16

h² = 625 - 16 = 609

h = √609

h = 24.7 ft

Answer:

The answer to your question is 24.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length of the ladder = 25 ft

distance from the ladder to the ladder = 4 ft

distance from the floor to the ladder = ?

Process

1.- Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem

           c² = a² + b²

- solve for b

            b² = c² - a²

-Substitution

            b² = (25)² - (4)²

-Simplification

            b² = 625 - 16

            b² = 609

-Result

            b = 24.67 ft ≈ 24.7 ft

-Conclusion

The ladder is 24.7 ft from the floor.

What is the converse of the following conditional statement? If x = –10, then x2 = 100
tangare [24]
The converse would be If x² = 100 then x = -10

So essentially if the conditional statement is p → q then the converse is q → p (In essence, the converse of a conditional statement  is formed by interchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion.)

Which of the following is not a correct statement or outcome for multiplying matrices?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

  neither

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Both statements are correct.</em>

If matrix 1 has dimensions (r1, c1) and matrix 2 has dimensions (r2, c2), their product can be formed if c1 = r2. The resulting product matrix will have dimensions (r1, c2).

Error Analysis: Kayla said the remainder of x^3+ 2x^2 -4x + 6 divided by
andrezito [222]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C) No, Kayla is not correct, because the remainder is -49 not 149

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder from division by x+5 can be found by evaluating the polynomial at x=-5, the value of x that makes the divisor zero.

Evaluation is often easier when the function is written in Horner form.

  ((x +2)x -4)x +6

For x=-5, this is ...

  ((-5 +2)(-5) -4)(-5) +6 = (-3(-5) -4)(-5) +6 = 11(-5) +6 = -49

Kayla is not correct; the remainder is -49.
