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

Mathematics

Anettt [7]3 years ago

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

Dmitrij [34]
Part A.
You need two equations with the same slope and different y-intercepts.
Their graph is parallel lines. Since the lines do not intersect, there is no solution.

y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 2

Part B.
We use the first equation as above. For the second equation, we use an equation with different slope. Two lines with different slopes always intersect.

y = 2x + 2
y = -2x - 2

In the second equation, y = -2x - 2. We now substitute -2x - 2 for y in the first equation.

-2x - 2 = 2x + 2

-4x = 4

x = -1

Now substitute -1 for x in the first equation to find y.

y = 2x + 2

y = 2(-1) + 2

y = -2 + 2

y = 0

Solution: x = -1 and y = 0

yulyashka [42]
Centripetal acceleration is given by:
g=v^2/r
where:
v=velocity
r=rate
But
V=200 m/s, g=9.8 m/s^2
plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
9.8=200^2/r
r=200^2/9.8
r=4081.63 m

Item 4 Find the median, first quartile, third quartile, and interquartile range of the data. 132,127,106,140,158,135,129,138 med
Ket [755]

Answer:

133.5, 127.5, 139.5, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

order data:

106, 127, 129, 132, 135, 138, 140, 158

Median:

The middle number: (8+1)/2 = 4.5 between the 4&5 numbers

= (135-132)/2= 1.5

1.5 + 132 = 133.5

lower quartile (1st quartile):

(8+1)/4 = 2.25 between the 2&3 numbers

(129+127)/4=0.5

0.5+127 = 127.5

upper quartile(3rd quartile):

(8+1)/4 x3 = 6.75 between the 6&7 numbers

(140-138)/4 x3 = 1.5

1.5 + 138 =139.5

Interquartile range:

139.5-127.5= 12

hope this helps
