A and C are the same. They also make the most sense for an answer.
Answer:
( -2,3) because you have to measure how long and where tge end of the line is. and tgeres your answer
Noting that square A is a square, this is what we have:
A = B
A^2 = B x (B + 4) + 20
I can try subbing in A to B
since A = B:
A^2 = A x (A + 4) + 20
20 = A^2 - (A x (A + 4))
20 = A^2 - (A^2 + 4A)
20 = 4A
A = 5
By the way, A is width of square A and B is the width of rectangle B in my solution,
Answer:
h(x)=4
Step-by-step explanation:
h(x)=−2x+10
h(x)=−2(3)+10
=-6+10
=4
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
