Answer:

The distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the house is 10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can gather that the ladder makes a right angle shape with the wall of the house.

The length of this ladder which represents the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is 26ft while the height of the house to the roof is 24ft

To calculate the distance between the base of the ladder and the base of the house, we shall be employing the use of Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the 2 other sides

We have established that the hypotenuse is the length of the ladder which is 26ft

Let the distance we want to calculate be d

26^2 = 24^2 + d^2

d^2 = 26^2 -24^2

d^2 = 676 - 576

d^2 = 100

d = square root of 100

d = 10ft

Is it possible to build a triangle with inside angles of 90 degrees , 50 degrees, and 60 degrees?
N76 [4]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Angles of a triangle are equal to 90 degrees , 50 degrees, and 60 degrees

To check : if it possible to build a triangle with given angles

Solution:

According to angle sum property of a triangle, sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180^{\circ}

Here,

sum of given angles = 90^{\circ}+50^{\circ}+60^{\circ}=200^{\circ}\neq 180^{\circ}

Therefore, it is <u>not possible</u> to construct a triangle with given angles.

Mitra created a mosaic design using square 2x2 cm white tiles and 2x3 cm rectangular centimeter black tiles. She used twice as m
zvonat [6]

Mitra used 156 white tiles of 2x2 cm and 76 black tiles of 2x3 cm to form a pattern with an area of 1092 cm²

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of white tiles and y represent the number of black tiles.

Area of white tiles = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm²

Area of black tiles = 2 cm * 3 cm = 6 cm²

She used twice as many white tiles as black tiles. Hence:

x = 2y   (1)

Also, the finished pattern was 1092 square centimeters in area. Hence:

4x + 6y = 1092   (2)

From both equations:

x = 156, y = 78

Mitra used 156 white tiles of 2x2 cm and 76 black tiles of 2x3 cm to form a pattern with an area of 1092 cm²
