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

Answer: 15/91 which is choice B

=================================================================

There are two methods to find this answer.

Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91

--------------------

Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.

We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)

Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)

So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table?
Vikentia [17]
Y=5x - 3 Because the difference in the y values are 5, the rise is 5. That is the TOP of the slope. The difference in the x values is 1, that is the run or the BOTTOM of the slope. So m = 5/1. Using y = mx + b 2 = 5(1) + b -3 = b Therefore, y = 5x -3

Find the distance between the pair of points (-6.-17) and (-8.-19) The distance is (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)​
valina [46]

Answer:

2.83

Step-by-step explanation:

d= Square root of (x2 - x1 )^2 +( y2- y1)^2

from the point given you

x1= -6

y1 = -17

x2 = -8

y2 = -19

by applying the formula

Square root of ( -8 - (-6))^2 + ( -19 - (-17))^2

Square root of (-8+6) + (-19+17)^2
