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.

A sports team played 100 games last season. Did this team win at least half of the games it played last season? (1) The team won
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Insufficient data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of games = 100,

(1) The team won 60% of its first 65 games last season.

So, the number of winning games in 65 games = 60% of 65

=\frac{60\times 65}{100}

=13\times 3 = 39

But we do not know about the data for last 35 games,

Thus, the data is insufficient.

(2) The team won 60% of its last 65 games last season.

So, the number of winning games in last 65 games = 60% of 65 =39,

Thus, the total winning games = 45 + 45 = 90,

But we do not know about the data for first 35 games,

Thus, the data is insufficient.

When we combined both (1) and (2) statements,

we found that the maximum number of games won by the team = 39 + 39 = 78,

But there is a overlap of 30 games,

i.e. an unknown number will be subtract from 78 to find the exact number of winning games.

Hence, even after combining statements (1) and (2),

The data is insufficient.

You sell apple cider for a fundraiser. For each gallon of cider you sell, the company that makes the cider receives $x$ dollars,
pav-90 [236]

Answer: You receive 14x+45 dollars for each gallon of cider that you sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: For selling each gallon of cider, the company receives x dollars.

You receive = Remaining amount

i.e. You receive  $(Selling price - x)

By selling 15 gallons in 15x+45 dollars, you have received (15x+45)-x dollars

i.e. You received 15x+45-x dollars

i.e. You received 14x+45 dollars.

Hence,  you receive 14x+45 dollars for each gallon of cider that you sell.
