To solve this we can use Pythagorean's theorem for right triangles. The formula describes the longest side of a right triangle ( a triangle with a 90degree ). The side opposite to this angle equals the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two shorter sides. Given this equation, we have the length of the ladder as the longest side (hypotenuse) which is opposite the angle between the plane and the wall, given the height it makes with the wall 8 feet and distance of the other end of the ladder at 6m away we have below


Length of ladder = sqrt ((6 m)^2+(2.4384m)^2)

Note that 8 feet was converted to meter = 2.4384

Length of ladder is = sqrt (36 + 5.94579456) = 6.5 meters approximately

Two cars leave towns 680 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one car's rate is 10 kilometers per hou
Evgen [1.6K]

D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km

v₁ = speed of one car

v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10

t = time taken to meet = 4 h

distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D

v₁ t + v₂ t = D

(v₁ + v₂) t = D

inserting the values

(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680

v₁ = 90 km/h

rate of slower car is given as

v₂ = v₁ - 10

v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h
