Answer:

The height of wall where 30-foot ladder reaches is 29.39 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Consider a  triangle ABC showing AC be the 30 foot ladder that is resting on a wall AB and foot of ladder is 6 foot  from the wall that is BC = 6

We have to find the height of wall where ladder is reaching.

Since building and foot of   ladder makes a right angle at B.

Let AB be x foot.

PYTHAGORAS THEOREM STATES THAT THE SUM OF SQUARE OF BASE AND PERPENDICULAR IS EQUAL TO THE THE SQUARE OF HYPOTENUSE.

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2

\Rightarrow (30)^2=(x)^2+(6)^2

\Rightarrow 900=(x)^2+36

\Rightarrow 900-36=x^2

\Rightarrow 864=x^2

\Rightarrow \sqrt{864}=x

\Rightarrow \sqrt{864}=x

\Rightarrow 29.39=x

Thus, the height of wall where 30-foot ladder reaches is 29.39 foot.

HELP! I DONT UNDERSTAND AND ITS DUE IN A BIT!!
DIA [1.3K]

Answer: It is a 90 Clockwise Degree Turn.

Step-by-step explanation:

From my knowledge, a 90-degree turn is a turn to the right.

So if you turn the "C" in the Y-axis 90 degrees you will get The "C" on the X-axis.

For Example: When you walk around a street you either turn 90 degree's to the right or 90-degrees to the left.

Hope this Helps!

18 questions answered correctly on a test. that is 75% of the total number of questions. How many questions were on the test?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

24 = questions on test

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions answered correctly = questions on test * percent answered correctly


We know that she answered 18 correctly and that 75% were answered correctly

Substitute this information into the equation

18 = questions on test *.75

Divide by .75 on each side

18/.75 = questions on test *.75/.75

24 = questions on test
