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

Determine if the product CA is defined. If the product is defined, state its dimensions. Do not calculate the product.
Troyanec [42]

ANSWER

The multiplication, CA is defined, and its dimension is 3×2

EXPLANATION

Matrix A is a 2x3 matrix.

Matrix C is a 3×2 matrix.

The product of the two matrices , CA, is defined if and only if the inner product of their dimension are the same.

CA = (2 \times 3)(3 \times 2)

The inner products are the same.

Hence the matrix multiplication, CA is defined and its dimension is the outer products.

2 \times 2

Hello!

The sum of all angle measures in a heptagon in 900°. We will subtract all of these angles from 900 to find our answer.

900-146-122-142-140-110-142=98

x=98°

I hope this helps!

Bella’s shoe is more or less than one yard?
Luba_88 [7]
Her shoe may be about a foot, definitely not 3 feet (a yard.) A yard length shoe does not seem average or the normal size.


Therefore, Bella's shoe is less than one yard.

Hope this helps! :)
