How far from the base of the house do you need to place a 15ft ladder so that it exactly reaches the top of a 12ft tall wall

1 answer:

4 0

It's a right triangle problem, and pretty obviously a multiple of the only Pythagorean Triple most folks know, 3²+4²=5². In this case we multiply the lengths by three getting

9²+12²=15²

If we place the 15 foot ladder 9 feet from the house it will hit the house at height 12 feet.

Answer: 9 feet

33% of what number is 1.45? Round to the nearest tenth.

tatuchka [14]

Take the unknown number as 'y'.

=》33% = 33/100

=》1.45 = 145/100

33/100 × y = 1.45

33/100 × y = 145/100

33y = 145/100 × 100/1

33y = 145

y = 145/33

y = 4.39

Match each graph with the correct slope of the line. drag and drop the answer

OLEGan [10]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Slope of the first graph:

Using two points on the line, (0, 1) and (3, 2),

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 1}{3 - 0} = \frac{1}{3}$

Slope = ⅓

✔️Slope of the second graph:

Using two points on the line, (0, 0) and (1, 1),

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 0}{1 - 0} = \frac{1}{1} = 1$

Slope = 1

✔️Slope of the third graph:

Using two points on the line, (0, 1) and (2, 2),

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 1}{2 - 0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Slope = ½
