The distance between the building and the base of the ladder is 5√3 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

<u>Consider a right angle triangle</u>,

  • Hypotenuse = Paula leaned a 10 ft ladder against a building.
  • Height = the top of the ladder is exactly 5 feet up in the building.
  • Base = 'x' ft, distance between the building and the base of the ladder.

<u>From the Pythagorean theorem</u>,

Base, x = \sqrt{hypotenuse^{2}-height^{2}  }

⇒ x = \sqrt{10^{2} -5^{2} }

⇒ x = \sqrt{100-25}

⇒ x = \sqrt{75}

⇒ x = 5√3

The distance between the building and the base of the ladder is 5√3 feet.

Answer:

(2.5 , 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the midpoint formula . Here the points are , (2,2) and (3,5) .

• <u>Using</u><u> </u><u>Midpo</u><u>int</u><u> Formula</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

⇒ M = { (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 }

⇒ M = ( 2+3/2 , 5+2/2 )

⇒ M = ( 5/2 , 7/2 )

⇒ M = ( 2.5 , 3.5 )

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>midpoint</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>)</u></h3>

I am Lyosha [343]
The medium sized orange would have 62 calories. To divide by 1/5, which in decimal form is 0.2, you just multiply 310 by 0.2, therefore, giving you 62. Hope this helps!
