Answer:

The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.

Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.

To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?

Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:

Hypotenuse^{2} = (Leg1)^{2} + (Leg2)^{2}

20^{2} =17^{2}+(Leg2) ^{2}

400=289+(Leg2)^{2}

400-289=(Leg2)^{2}

111=(Leg2)^{2}

by squaring both sides

Leg2=10.535

10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.

Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

What is the value of q?
skad [1K]

Answer:

<h2>2√14</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔSQR and ΔTSR are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{SR}{QR}=\dfrac{TR}{SR}

We have:

SR = q

QR = 10 + 4 = 14

TR = 4

Substitute:

\dfrac{q}{14}=\dfrac{4}{q}                  <em>cross multiply</em>

(q)(q)=(14)(4)\\\\q^2=56\to q=\sqrt{56}\\\\q=\sqrt{4\cdot14}\\\\q=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{14}\\\\q=2\sqrt{14}
