Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer:
If x varies directly as y, then x=ky. y=5 and x=2.5 are substituted into x=ky to find k.
2.5=5k
k=2.5/5
k=5.
K =5 is substituted in x=ky to find y where x is 10.
x=5y
10=5y
y=10/2
y=2

Hi there, 3+-10=-7 so, -7+5x=13. First, we add -7 to both sides, which gives us 5x=13+7, 13+7=20, so 5x=20. Now, we divide both sides by 5, Therefore, x=4
