Use pathagoream theorem. You get the equation: 10^2=6^2+x^2 then solve and simplify to get x=8 So no Tom is not afraid of the heights

The ladder touches the deck at 8 feet high..
a = 6 ft ; b = unknown ; c = 10 ft

6² + b² = 10²
b² = 10² - 6²
b² = 100 - 36
b² = 64
b = √64
<span>b = 8 feet.</span>

What’s the difference between evaluating an expression for a given value of a variable and solving an equation?
Talja [164]
The difference is that evaluating an expression for a given value is an example of let’s say In a example, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. So it means that they are giving you the input already. SOLVING an equation is working backwards, to undo everything that has been done to the input. So you have to do the equation in order to find your answer.

Is 30/12 and 40/16 equivalent?
Flura [38]
30/12 in simplest form is 5/2 (cause 6 * 5 = 30 and 6 * 2 = 12)
40/16 in simplest form is 5/2 (cause 8 * 2 = 16 and 8 * 5 =40)
so yes they're equivalent;
30/12 = 40/16
Hope that helps :D have a nice day!
