According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right-angled triangle equals to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, which equals to the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the tree + the distance we want to find (x):
5² + x² = 13²
25 + x² = 169
x² = 144
x = √144 = 12.
The distance between the ground and the top of the ladder is 12 ft.
No because the exponent on 6^3 is 216 and if you use (4•6)^3 then you’ll have to multiply the quotations and then Square it to the third
Answer:
Well, we have to remember that we must use PEMDAS, or the order of operations, to solve the expression.
<em>Therefore, we must first either divide or multiply anything that is inside of the parentheses. (In this case divide)</em>
<em>Now solve what remains in the parentheses.</em>
<em>Finally, subtract 4 from 10 and get your answer:</em>
6
