Answer: Seems like it would depend on your base. Can you pull the ladder away from the window and let it go and it drops back to the original position? I would prefer an extension ladder with a set off just below the frame so that I can reach both panes without the ladder blocking me. If the extension ladder won’t reach I would use the WFP (and might use that anyway).

<h3>Answer: 15 ft</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

Refer to the diagram below.

a = 12 and b = 9 are the legs of the right triangle

c = unknown hypotenuse, which is the length of the ladder.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for c

a^2+b^2 = c^2

12^2+9^2 = c^2

144+81 = c^2

225 = c^2

c^2 = 225

c = sqrt(225)

c = 15

The ladder is 15 feet long.

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-1, 4)

y-intercept (0, 2)

Step 2: Find slope m

Substitute: $m=\frac{2-4}{0+1}$
Subtract/Add: $m=\frac{-2}{1}$
Divide: $m=-2$

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = -2x + 2

Assume that the U.S. PPF measures oil and gas production on the x-axis and production of other goods and services on the y-axi

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The U.S. PPF rotates outward (abticlockwisely), increasing the x-axis intercept with no change in the y-axis intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Fracking is a method of improving production capabilities on oil and gas production. Although, it usually leads to environmental pollution later, it does bring in higher yields of oil and gas.

If the oil and gas production on the x-axis increases without a simultaneous, almost equal increase in production of other goods and services (on the y-axis), the data points for the x-axis shift more to the right and the PPF rotates more anti-clockwisely outward, thereby increasing the intercept on the now improved x-axis and not too much change on the intercept of the y-axis.
