Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall forms a right angle that is across from the ladder, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the value of 'x':

a² + b² = c², where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the diagonal or hypotenuse.  

Using 8 for 'a' and 10 for 'c':

8² + x² = 10²

64 + x² = 100

Subtract 64 from both sides:

64 - 64 + x² = 100 - 64 or x² = 36

Take the square root of both sides:

√x² = √36

x = 6 ft

Which equation has a graph that is perpendicular to the graph of -x + 6y = -12?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

c) 6x + y = -52  is required equation perpendicular to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is of the form    : y = mx  + C.

Here m = slope of the equation.

Two equations are said to be perpendicular if the product of their respective slopes is -1.

Here, equation 1 :  -x + 6y = -12

or, 6y = -12  + x

or, y = (x/6)  - 2

⇒Slope of line 1 = (1/6)

Now, for equation 2  to be  perpendicular:

Check for each equation:

a. x + 6y = -67       ⇒  6y = -67  - x

or, y = (-x/6)  - (67/6)      ⇒Slope of line 2 = (-1/6)

but \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{-1}{6}  \neq -1

b. x - 6y = -52   ⇒  -6y = -52  - x

or, y = (x/6)  + (52/6)      ⇒Slope of line 2 = (1/6)

but \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}  \neq -1

c. 6x + y = -52    

or, y =y = -52  - 6x      ⇒Slope of line 2 = (-6)

\frac{1}{6} \times (-6)  =  -1

Hence, 6x + y = -52  is required equation 2.

d. 6x - y = 52  ⇒  -y = 52  - 6x

or, y = 6x   - 52      ⇒Slope of line 2 = (6)

but \frac{1}{6} \times 6  \neq -1

Hence,  6x + y = -52  is  the  only required equation .
