Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the ladder=20 feet

Distance from the base of the ladder to the house = 12 feet

You will notice that a wall is vertical and the ladder makes an angle with the horizontal ground(making it the hypotenuse). This is a right triangle problem.

To find the how far up the house can the ladder can reach, we simply find the third side of the right triangle.

From Pythagoras theorem

Hyp^2=Opp^2+Adj^2\\20^2=12^2+Adj^2\\Adj^2=400-144\\Adj^2=256\\Adj=\sqrt{256}=16

The third side of the right triangle is 16. Therefore the ladder leans 16 feet from the ground.

Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the height of the ladder, the distance from the ladder base to the house and the height of the house the ladder will reach will form a triangle, as shown in the image.

To know the height of the house the ladder will reach, we just need to use Pythagorean theorem. Being h the house's height we want, we have:

20^2 = 12^2 + h^2

h^2 = 400 - 144 = 256

h = 16 feet.

Experiments with repeated independent trials will be described by the binomial distribution if
bija089 [108]

Answer:

d. each trial has exactly two outcomes whose probabilities do not change

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial experiment is one where there are exactly two outcomes for each trial and probability for getting success is constant in each trial.

In other words, each trial is independent of the other.

The trials need not be continuous nor time between trials to be constant.

Since trials are to be independent, each trial cannot influence the next.

Only option d is right.

d. each trial has exactly two outcomes whose probabilities do not change

Examples are tossing of coins, throwing dice, drawing cards or balls with replacement, etc

What does this mean? and how can y =x or what us the answer to y=x I need help
Readme [11.4K]
At the end of the directions, it talks about parallel, perpendicular, or neither. When x=y, the lines are perpendicular and have infinite solutions. When they are parallel, there is no solution. You'll get an answer like 4=5. Neither means there is only one answer, and you will get one x and one y.

The modulus of (3 + 4i)4 is _____.<br><br> 5<br> 20<br> 125<br> 625
vladimir1956 [14]
(3+4i)*4 = 3*4+4i*4 = 12+16i

The complex number 12+16i is in the form a+bi where a = 12 and b = 16

m = modulus
m = distance from (0,0) to (a,b)
m = sqrt(a^2+b^2)
m = sqrt(12^2+16^2)
m = sqrt(144+256)
m = sqrt(400)
m = 20

Answer: 20
