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

PLZ HELP DUE AT 12
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The first one would be m^30n^20p^30  

And the second one would be a^2 / d^4  

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1, you have to multiply the inner exponents by the outer one so you get (m^12n^8) times (m^18n^12p^30). Then you mutiply the two together, so you add the exponents, where you get m^30n^20p^30.

For 2, since you're dividing, you have to subtract the exponents so you get a^2d^-4, but since you shouldn't have the negative you turn it into a^2 / d^4

Hope this helps :)

Totsakan school is selling tickets to a choral performance on the first day of ticket sales the school sold 10 senior tickets an
ohaa [14]

Given :

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 10 senior tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $85 .

The school took in $75 on the second day by selling 5 senior citizens tickets and 7 child tickets.

To Find :

The price of a senior ticket and the price of a child ticket.

Solution :

Let, price of senior ticket and child ticket is x and y respectively.

Mathematical equation of condition 1 :

10x + y = 85    ...1)

Mathematical equation of condition 2 :

5x + 7y = 75    ...2)

Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :

2(2) - (1)   :

2( 5x + 7y - 75 ) - ( 10x +y - 85 ) = 0

10x + 14y - 150 - 10x - y + 85 = 0

13y = 65

y = 5

10x - 5 = 85

x = 8

Therefore, price of a senior ticket and the price of a child ticket $8 and $5.

Hence, this is the required solution.
