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
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
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

Stabiliti daca marimile ale caror valori sunt trecute in tabelele urmatoare sunt direct proportionale.
kvv77 [185]

Vă rugăm să găsiți imaginea întrebării atașate mai jos:

Răspuns:

A este proporțională

B este proporțională

C nu este proporțional

D este proporțional

E nu este proporțională

F este proporțional

Explicație pas cu pas:

Pentru a determina proporționalitatea:

Obținem constanta proporționalității

Pentru valorile din tabelul 1;

Luând primul punct:

x = 1; y = 5

1 α 5

1 = 5k

k = 1/5

Test:

y = 15

x = k * y

x = 1/5 * 15; x = 3

Prin urmare; (a) este proporțională

B.)

x = 2; y = 6

2 α 6

2 = 6k

k = 2/6

k = 1/3

Test:

y = 15

x = k * y

x = 1/3 * 15; x = 5

Prin urmare; (b) este proporțională

C.)

x = 2; y = 6

7 α 3,5

7 = 3,5k

k = 7 / 3,5

k = 2

Test:

y = 5

x = 2 * 3.5

x = 7

Prin urmare; (c) nu este proporțională

x = 0,5; y = 1

0,5 α 1

0,5 = k

Test:

y = 4

x = k * y

x = 0,5 * 4; x = 2

Prin urmare; (d) este proporțională

x = 0,2; y = 2

0,2 α 2

0,2 = 2k

k = 0,2 / 2

k = 0,1

Test:

y = 4,5

x = 0,1 * 4,5

x = 0,45

Prin urmare; (e) nu este proporțională

x = 1; y = 12

1 α 12

1 = 12k

k = 1/12

Test:

y = 84

x = 1/12 * 84

x = 7

Prin urmare; (f) este proporțională

Jack has 120 songs on his music player. Some are rock, some are jazz, and the rest of classical pieces. If his music player is o
muminat
2/5 and 1/3 have a common denominator of 15. 6/15, 5/15, and 4/15 add up to 15/15. So the chances of rock are 4/15. 120 divided by 15 is 8. Six times eight equals fourty eight, five times eight equals forty, and four times eight equals thirty two. So there are 48 classical songs, 40 jazz songs, and 32 rock songs.

-3z+8=2z-12 what is the answer?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-3a + 8 = 2z + -12

Reorder the terms:

8 + -3a = 2z + -12

Reorder the terms:

8 + -3a = -12 + 2z

Solving

8 + -3a = -12 + 2z

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20

-3a = -20 + 2z

Divide each side by '-3'.

a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z

Simplifying

a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
