Answer:

The answer to your question is 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Adjacent side = b = 6 ft

Opposite side = a = 8 ft

Hypotenuse = c = ?

angle = 63°

Process

1.- Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the ladder.

                 c² = a² + b²

- Substitution

                 c² = 8² + 6²

-Simplification

                 c² = 64 + 32

                 c² = 100

                 c = \sqrt{100}

- Result

                c = 10 ft

2.- Conclusion

The ladder has a length of 10 ft

For every car you sell, you get a 6% commission. IF your total sales for the month is $125,650, what is your commission?
Lera25 [3.4K]
Let
x= total cost of cars
y= total commission paid out for all cars sold

6%= 6/100 = .06

Set up an equation:
y= .06(x)

Given: x= $125,650

substitute into the y= .06(x)

multiply $125,650 by .06.

The answers would be: 7539

3. Tickets to a show cost $5.50 for adults and 54.25 for students. A family is purchasing2
bulgar [2K]

.

Step-by-step explanation:The cost of an adult ticket to the show is $5.5

The cost of a student ticket to the show is $4.25

A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets. This means that the total cost of 2 adult tickets would be

2 × 5.5 = $11

It also means that the total cost of 3 student tickets would be

3 × 4.25 = $12.75

The total cost of 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets would be

11 + 12.75 = $23.75

If the family pays $25, the exact amount of change they should receive is

25 - 23.75 = $1.25

Variable c is 5 more than variable
shutvik [7]
First, let us restate the given conditions

c is 5 more than variable a ( c = a + 5)
c is also three less than variable a (c = a - 3)

Now, lets look at the answer choices and or given
c = a − 5 
c = a + 3
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified

a = c + 5
a = 3c − 3 
Here, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So,
Simplified version :
c = a - 5
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified


a = c − 5
a = 3c + 3
Here also, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So, 
simplified version:
c = a + 5
Here, c is 5 more than "a"...so we continue
c = (a - 3) / 3
Here, c is 3 less than "a" <u>divided by 3</u><u /> . So, this is not correct

c = a + 5
c = a − 3
Here, c is 5 more than "A"
Also, c is 3 less than "a"
Which satisfies the given.

 So, our answer is going to be the last one:
 
 c = a + 5
 c = a - 3
