Solve using a proportion. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

The length of the ladder would be 32 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the missing value, we create a proportion. We can do this by making two fractions -- the numerator being the depicted length and the denominator being the actual length.

(1.5/4) = (12/x)

Since we don't know the actual length of the ladder, we put it in as x. Now we can cross multiply to solve.

(1.5/4) = (12/x)

1.5*x = 4*12

1.5x = 48

x = 32

Answer:

(x + 9)² = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 18x + 57 = 12 ( subtract 57 from both sides )

x² + 18x = - 45

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(9)x + 81 = - 45 + 81

(x + 9)² = 36

Max's trip home takes 3 2 32 minutes. What is the latest time he can leave to be home by a quarter before 5 5?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Latest time he can leave to be home by a quarter before 5 is 4:13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Max's trip home takes 32 minutes. we have to find the time at which he can leave to be home by a quarter before 5.

quarter before 5 means 4:45

Max's takes 32 min to come to home so he has to leave 32 minutes before the given time.

Hence, latest time he can leave to be home by a quarter before 5 is 4:45-32 = 4:13
