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

If ∠A and ∠B are supplementary and m∠A = 37°45', then m∠B = ______.
xenn [34]

Answer: 142°15'

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles that add up to make a straight angle (180^{\circ}).

Therefore, we must find the angle ∠B such that

∠A + ∠B = 180° (1)

We know that ∠A = 37°45', so we can re-arrange equation (1) to find the magnitude of ∠B:

∠B = 180° - ∠A = 180° - 37°45' = 142°15'

So, the correct answer is

142°15'

The difference of two numbers is equal to 0.6. Their quotient is also 0.6. What are the numbers? There are 4
Makovka662 [10]
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
  x - y = 0.6
  y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
  x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude

The solution of the first pair of equations is
  (x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)

The solution of the first and last equations is
  (x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)

The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.

Can someone please help I can’t understanddd.
dem82 [27]

Hello,

Dividing by 0 is not defined so let s take x different from 4 and -4 and then we can write:

As

f(x)=x^2-7x+12=x^2-4x-3x+12=x(x-4)-3(x-4)=(x-4)(x-3)\\ \\(f\times g)(x)=\dfrac{3(x-4)(x-3)}{(x-4)(x+4)}=\dfrac{3x-9}{x+4}

Thanks
