The answer has to be 34 units^2 (34 units squared)
The correct answer is :False
The original volume of the shape was 250. You come up with this by multiplying all sides together. So, 5x5x10=250.
We do the same for the new shape, which now has a 7 in place of the 5. So 7x7x10=490.
Lastly, we subtract the volume of the new shape from the volume of the old shape to see the difference. So, 490-250=240.
So the answer to this is 240.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.
Cube root of x^3 is x.
Cube root of 8 is 2
So
a=x
b= 2.
Set these equations equal to zero
If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,
Thus the only real root is 2.
If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

For this problem, you're going to need to use trig. More specifically, you need to use the tangent function:
tan (value) = opposite/adjacent
tan 75 = opposite/8 (Here, the opposite side is the length of the ladder)
8 * tan 75 = opposite
29.8564065 = opposite
So, the ladder is 29.9 feet.
