Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height, h from the top of the ladder to the base of the house represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the foot of the ladder to the base of the house represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the height, h that the ladder reaches, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

15² = 9² + h²

225 = 81 + h²

h² = 225 - 81 = 144

h = √144 = 12 feet

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though the triangle is "upside down"

a = (1/2)bh

b is QB = 4

Define geometric relationship​
blagie [28]

Answer:

Geometric relationships control the orientation of an element with respect to another element or reference plane. For example, you can define a tangent relationship between a line and an arc. ... For example, a connect relationship and a tangent relationship can be used where an arc meets a line. (make me brainliest)

32) In a triangle, the exterior angle is twice of each of the interior remote angles. The exterior angle is 1200. Find the measu
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

60 degrees each

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle, the sum of the interior angles is equal to the exterior

Let x and y be interior

Let z be the third angle

w be the exterior

w = x+y

120 = x+y

If the exterior angle is twice of each of the interior remote angles, then;

2x = 2y

x = y

120 = x+x

2x = 120

x = 60

Since x = y, y  = 60 degres

From the triangle, the third angle will be 180 - 120

z = 180-120

z = 60

The measures of the 3 angles are 60 degrees each
