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

What is the LCD of 2/7 and 9/10
Ksenya-84 [330]
Assuming LCD means Lowest Common Denominator
Assuming by "and" you mean adding the two

Well, you go by the multiples of 7;
7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63,<u> 70</u>
Multiples of 10;
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, <u>70</u>, 80, 90, 100

Straight away you can see the lowest common multiple is 70,

Now to go about adding them,
2/7 * 10 (both sides) , 20/70
9/10 * 7 (both sides) , 63/70

Then you add the two; 20/70 + 63/70  - now we can add them because they share the same denominator
20/70 + 63/70 = 83/70 = 1 whole 13/70 (simplified)

<u>The LCD is 70

Quick tip, </u>to find a common multiple (not necessarily the lowest) multiply the two denominators.
