Answer: Using Pythagoras Rule the ladder touches 13.75ft ~ 14ft up the wall.

Step-by-step explanation: Using the Pythagoras Rule the Hypothenus is the leaning hieght of the ladder 15ft

And the base is 6ft. Now let's find the height of the wall h¹

h¹ = √{15² - 6²}

h¹ =√{225 - 36}

h¹ = √189

= 13.74ft

Please help!<br><br> Find the slope<br><br> -2x + 4y = 36<br><br> Thank you!
kogti [31]
-2x+4y=36
Add +2x to both sides
4y=2x+36
Decide every term by 4
y= 2/4x + 9

The slope is 2/4

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr²h.  Substituting the information we have, we get 1470=(3.14)(6²)<span>h
</span>1470=113.04h
Divide both sides by 113.04:
1470/113.04 = 113.04h/113.04
13 ≈ h
The height of the cylinder is 13 inches.  We know that the height of the cone is 1/2 the height of the cylinder; 1/2(13) = 6.5 inches.  The formula for the volume of a cone is:
V=1/3πr²h
The cone and the cylinder have the same radius, and we now know that the height of the cone is 6.5.  Substituting this information in we have:
V=1/3(3.14)(6²)(6.5) = 244.92 in³
The total volume of the cake would be the volume of the cylinder added to the volume of the cone:
1470+244.92 = 1714.92 in³.

The formula for the volume of a sphere, for the ball cake, is 
<em /><em>V</em>=4/3πr³.  Using the radius of 3 we have:
<span><em>V</em>=4/3(3.14)(3</span>³)=113.04 for the volume of the circus ball cake.
The formula for the area of the cone-shaped hat cake is <em>V</em>=1/3π<em>r</em>²<em>h</em>.  We want it to have the same volume as the circus ball cake, and we know the radius is still 3:
<em />113.04=1/3(3.14)(3²)<em>h</em>
This simplifies to
113.04=9.42<em>h</em>
Divide both sides by 9.42:
113.04/9.42 = 9.42<em>h</em>/9.42
The hat cake would have to have a height of 12 inches to have the same volume.
