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.

Please help I found this one a bit confusing ​
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To reach point D from point C, you need to add 4 to the x-value of point C and take away 6 from the y-value. These numbers are the sides of the hypothetical triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2+b^2=c^2. If we plug the side lengths in for a and b, we get 4^2 + 6^2 = c^2. This can be simplified to 16+36=c^2, or 52 = c^2. If we root both sides, we find that c is equal to \sqrt{52}, which is slightly more than 7, at around 7.2.

Express the confidence interval 0.555 less than 0.777 in the form Modifying above p with caret plus or minus Upper E.
Elina [12.6K]

Complete Question

Express the confidence interval 0.555 less than p less than  0.777 in the form Modifying above p with caret plus or minus Upper E.

Answer:

The modified representation is \r p \pm  E  = 0.666 \pm  0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  confidence interval interval is  0.555 <  p <  0.777

Now looking at the values that make up  the up confidence interval we see that this is a symmetric  confidence interval(This because the interval covers 95%  of the area under the normal curve which mean that the probability of a value falling outside the interval is 0.05 which is divided into two , the first half on the left -tail and the second half on the right tail  as shown on the figure in the first uploaded image(reference - Yale University ) ) which means

     Now  since the confidence interval is  symmetric , we can obtain the sample proportion as follows

             \r p  =  \frac{0.555 + 0.777}{2}

            \r p  =0.666

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

            E  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  K

Where  K is the length of the confidence interval which iis mathematically represented as

           K  =  0.777 -0.555

         K  = 0.222

Hence  

          ME  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  0.222

           ME  =  0.111

So the confidence interval can now be represented as

        \r p \pm  E  = 0.666 \pm  0.111

Write a mixed number to describe the length of the ribbon shown in the figure below.
yulyashka [42]

Step-by-step explanation:

what did we learn in the other question ?

there are 8 equal sub-segments of 1/8 length between neighboring whole numbers.

so, each little line is 1/8.

the marker goes first to 1, and then one little line towards 2.

therefore, that number is 1 1/8.
