Answer:

Alec is climbing 17 rungs on the ladder of 14 feet ( including first and last rung ) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the ladder = 14 foot

Distance between Rungs in ladder =  \frac{3}{4}

There is one foot of space on each end of the ladder before the first and last rung .  

To Find:

Number of  rungs are on the ladder =?

Solution:

Let us assume there are 3 rungs. Between 3 rungs there will be two spaces. between four rungs there will be 3 spaces , so between n + 1  rungs there will be n spaces.

Given that length of the ladder = 14 feet

There is one foot of space on each end before the first and last rung.

So length of the ladder between first and last rung = 14 – 2  ( 1 foot of each side) = 12 feet

As distance between each rung = \frac{3}{4}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet =\frac{( 12)}{\frac{3}{4}}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet=   \frac{(12\times4)}{3}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet=\frac{(48)}{3}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet =16

And as for n spaces there will be n + 1 rungs, so for 16 spaces there will be 16 + 1 = 17 rungs.

Can someone give me the answers to this or how to find the answers to it?

the discriminant formula is b^2-4ac

so plug the values from each equation into the formula and solve, the result is the value of the discriminant

if the number is negative, there are no real roots/x-int

if it is 0 there is one real root/x-intercepts

if it is positive it has 2 real roots/x-int

and to find the actual solutions you have to plug the values into the quadratic formula

If m∠Y = 107° and m∠Z = 33°, what is m∠X?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B would be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use what they said. All angles in a triangle would sum to 180 degrees.

So based on that, 107 + 33 + <x = 180

140 + <x = 180

<x would then be 40 degrees
