A ladder is placed 6 feet away from a house. The ladder comes up to 8 feet on the side of the house. How long is the ladder

Mathematics

Answer:

Length of the ladder is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the ladder from house = x feet

and ladder reach on the side of the house be = y feet

Then by pythagoras formula in a right angle triangle having height of the triangle y, base as x then hypotenuse =√(height)²+(Base)²

Or Hypotenuse = √x²+y²

Here from the question x = 8 feet and y = 6 feet

Then by putting these values we get the length of ladder.

So length of the ladder will be = √8²+6² = √64+36 = √100 = 10 feet.

Given triangle abc with vertices A(2,-1), B(5,6), C(-1,4) as shown. Find the number of square units in the area of triangle abs
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the lengths of segments AB, BC and AC by Pythagorean Theorem:

AB

AB = \sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+[6-(-1)]^{2}}

AB \approx 7.616

BC

BC = \sqrt{(-1-5)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}

BC \approx 6.325

AC

AC = \sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+[4-(-1)]^{2}}

AC \approx 5.831

Now we determine the area of the triangle by Heron's formula:

A = \sqrt{s\cdot (s-AB)\cdot (s-BC)\cdot (s-AC)} (1)

s = \frac{AB+BC + AC}{2} (2)

Where:

A - Area of the triangle.

s - Semiparameter.

If we know that AB \approx 7.616, BC \approx 6.325 and AC \approx 5.831, then the area of the triangle is:

s \approx 9.886

A = 18

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.

write an equation of the line with the following information. Through (4,1) and perpendicular to y=1/3x +3
Yakvenalex [24]
Perpendicular means the two lines' slopes are negative reciprocal to each other. the slope of the given line is 1/3, therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/1, which is -3
use the point-slope form: the given point is (4,1), so (y-1)=-3(x-4)
you can stop right here or you can write it into slope intercept form:
y-1=-3x+12
y=-3x+13

Which expression is equivalent to...
torisob [31]

Answer:

x^{\frac{2}{7} } y^{-\frac{3}{5} } \\  i.e answer A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question involves knowing the following power/exponent rule:

\sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^\frac{m}{n} \\\\so \sqrt[7]{x^2} = x^\frac{2}{7} \\\\and  \\\\ \sqrt[5]{y^3} = y^\frac{3}{5} \\

Next, when a power is on the bottom of a fraction, if we want to move it to the top, this makes the power become negative.

so the y-term, when moved to the top of the fraction, becomes:

y^{-\frac{3}{5} } \\

So the answer is: x^{\frac{2}{7} } y^{-\frac{3}{5} } \\
