A 15-foot ladder is leaning against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 9 feet away from the base of the house. How far up the

house does the ladder reach
Mathematics

vitfil [10]3 years ago

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

sarah meeham blends coffee for tasti delight. she needs to prepare 160 pounds of blended coffee beans selling for $4.97 per poun
Viefleur [7K]
Given:
h = high quality bean ; costs 6 per pound
c = cheaper bean ; costs 3.25 per pound

160 pounds of blended coffee beans at 4.97 per pound

h + c = 160

6h + 3.25c = 160(4.97)
6h + 3.25c = 795.20

h = 160 - c

6(160-c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
- 2.75c = 795.20 - 960 
- 2.75c = -164.80
c = - 164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 pounds

h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60 
h = 100 pounds

Sarah must blend 100 pounds of high quality bean and 60 pounds of cheaper bean.

Katen [24]

Dependent and independent variables. ... The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied. The independent variables, also known in a statistical context as regressors, represent inputs or causes, that is, potential reasons for variation.  

An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable s. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement.    

I hope this helps you out
