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.

padilas [110]

Answer:

y = -2.8x +69.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent units of inventory, and x represent days since the last replenishment. We are given points (x, y) = (3, 61) and (13, 33). The line through these points can be described using the 2-point form of the equation of a line:

... y -y1 = (y2-y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1)

Filling in the given point values, we have ...

... y -61 = (33 -61)/(13 -3)(x -3)

Simplifying and adding 61, we get ...

... y = -2.8x +69.4

Find the vertex of the graph and the axis of symmetry
ale4655 [162]
How to do the vertex is using the formula -b/2a

your a=-9 and b is -18 but it going to become +18 because you are multiplying the -(-18) which there a 1 in front the neg. you going to multiply the -9 by 2 and do 18/18 so your x= -1. You got your x, you going to put in the equation as y=-9(-1)^2-18(-1)-1 then you got your y... hope this is helpful :)

A concrete stepping stone measures 20 inches square. What is the area of 30 such tiles?
ratelena [41]
A single stepping stone as you have said is 20 inches sqaure. This means that it has an area of 20.

All you would need to do then is multiply 20 by 30 to get the area of thirty tiles. The result of this would be 600.

If you mean one side of the stepping stone is 20 inches then you would multiply 20 by 20 to get the area of one, since that would be multiplying length times width (the area formula). The area of one would result in 400 and you would then multiply this by the thirty tiles (400 times 30) to get 12000.
