Answer:

11.6 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the Ladder=12 foot

Distance of the base of the Ladder from the House=3 foot

Since the ladder leans against the wall in a slant position, it is the hypotenuse.

From Pythagoras Theorem,

Hypotenuse ²= Opposite ²+ Adjacent ²

12²=3²+x²

x²= 12²-3²=144-9=135

x=√135=11.61895003862

The Ladder reaches up to a height of 11.6 foot (to the nearest tenth) on the house.

Which graph represents the function y= 2x-4?sty すす0-3xits : :os : ;-32pr ftーVetーTT it tie。pttーT-it-T +--+-
Sergio039 [100]
Solutions 

You have been given the y-intercept of -4. The meaning of this is that the given line will go through the point (0, -4). Plug in 1 for x and find y.


y = 2x - 4

y = 2 * 1 - 4

y = 2 - 4

y = -2

What is the constant of variation if y varies inversely as x and y = 3 when x = 6? PLZ HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

k = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 3 when x = 6, that is

3 = \frac{k}{6} ( multiply both sides by 6 )

18 = k

The constant of variation is k = 18

A 20-foot ladder leaning against a wall is used for each a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
zlopas [31]
We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet
