Answer:

3.root 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use Pythagorean’s theorem. Now let’s visualize a right angled triangle in which the hypotenuse stands for the total ladder length and the base of the ladder standing away from the wall is say the adjacent.

The length of the ladder is the opposite which is the last side of the complete triangle.

Hence, to find this side we use s^2 = 12^2 - 3^2

S^2 = 144 -9

S^2 = 135

S= square root of 135 = 3.root15 feet

3/9 + 3/27 = ? Adding fractions
RideAnS [48]
\frac{3}{9} + \frac{3}{27} equals \frac{4}{9}.

First, simplify \frac{3}{9} to \frac{1}{3} and also \frac{3}{27} to \frac{1}{9}. Your problem should look like: \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Second, find the least common denominator of \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{9} to get 9.
Third, make the denominators the same as the least common denominator (LCD). Your problem should look like: \frac{1x3}{3x3} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fourth, simplify to get the denominators the same. Your problem should look like: \frac{3}{9} + \frac{1}{9}.
Fifth, join the denominators. Your problem should look like: \frac{3+1}{9}.
Sixth, simplify. Your problem should look like: \frac{4}{9}, which is the answer.
