Answer:
From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:
12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16

Answer: £23,360
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use algebra to solve this.
Assume that the original investment is x.
In the beginning of 2015 the balance had increased by 2.5% which is denoted as:
= 1.025x
Carol then withdrew a thousand:
= 1.025x - 1,000
This value then increased by 2.5% again by the beginning of 2016:
= 1.025 * (1.025x - 1,000)
Relevant expression therefore is:
1.025 *(1.025x - 1,000) = 23,517.60
1.025x - 1,000 = 23,517.60/1.025
1.025x = 22,944 + 1,000
x = 23,944/1.025
x = £23,360
EXPLANATION
Let's see the facts:
$Sandwiches= 3*$Salads
Bill = $24.92
We can represent this in an equation:
Total Bill = Sandwiches + Salads
Let's call to Sandwiches "x" to Salads "y" and to Bill "B"
Then, the equation will be:
B = x+y = (3*y) + y
Applying distributive property:
24.92 = 3y + y
Adding similar terms:
24.92 = 4y
Dividing both sides by 4:
6.23 = y
Switching:
y=6.23
As we know, y variable represent the salads cost, so:
Answer is $6.23.
Since the vertex is at (-3, 6), the equation is given by
y = a(x + 3) + 6
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
