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.

Answer:

a. Function 1

b. Function 3

c. Function 2, Function 3 and Function 4

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Function 1:

y-intercept = -3 (the point where the line cuts across the y-axis)

Slope, using the two points (0, -3) and (1, 2):

\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \frac{2 -(-3)}{1 - 0} = \frac{5}{1} = 5

Slope = 5

✔️Function 2:

y-intercept = -1 (the value of y when x = 0)

Slope, using the two points (0, -1) and (1, -4):

\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \frac{-4 -(-1)}{1 - 0} = \frac{-3}{1} = -3

Slope = -3

✔️Function 3: y = 2x + 5

y-intercept (b) = 5

Slope (m) = 2

✔️Function 4:

y-intercept = 2

Slope = -1

Thus, the following conclusions can be made:

a. The function's graph that is steepest is the function whose absolute value of its slope is greater. Therefore Function 1 is the steepest with slope of 5

b. Function 3 has a y-intercept of 5, which is the farthest from 0.

c. Function 2, Function 3, and Function 4 all have y-intercept that is greater than -2.

-1, 5, and 2 are all greater than -2.

A x + b y is equal to 12​
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

y= -a*x + 12

<u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u>b</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+by=12 (subtract "ax" from both sides so that the one on the left will become zero and we will have "by" )

by= -ax+12(divide both side by "by" so that we will have the equation as "y=mx+b")

finally the result will be:

y= -a*x + 12

The angles 3x+6 and 5x + 6 are supplements. What are the two angles
yarga [219]

Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an expression</u>

Since they are supplements, that means that they add up to 180 degrees.

3x + 6 + 5x + 6 = 180

<u>Step 2:  Combine like terms</u>

3x + 6 + 5x + 6 = 180

(3x + 5x) + (6 + 6) = 180

8x + 12 = 180

<u>Step 3:  Subtract 12 from both sides</u>

8x + 12 - 12 = 180 - 12

8x = 168

<u>Step 4:  Divide both sides by 8</u>

8x / 8 = 168 / 8

x = 21

Answer:  x = 21
