Answer:

6.3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This requires the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where "a" and "b" are legs and c is the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90 degree angle.) If we fill the equation where c is the ladder length(11) and "a" is the distance from the house(), and "b" is the height, 9^2+b^2=11^2 or 81+b^2=121. This is equivalent to b^2=40. b=6.3 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

A.) (7t³ + 2k^4)(7t³ - 2k^4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

49 t^6 - 4 k^8

49 t^6 - 4 k^8 = (7 t^3)^2 - (2 k^4)^2:

(7 t^3)^2 - (2 k^4)^2

Factor the difference of two squares. (7 t^3)^2 - (2 k^4)^2 = (7 t^3 - 2 k^4) (7 t^3 + 2 k^4):

Answer:  (7 t^3 - 2 k^4) (7 t^3 + 2 k^4)

Gina is cutting construction paper into rectangles for a project. She needs to cut one rectangle that is 12 inches by 14 1/4 inc
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

278.63 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina needs to cut two types of rectangles.

Dimensions of one rectangle is given as,

Width = 12 inches

Length = 14\frac{1}{4} = \frac{57}{4} inches

So, the area of this rectangular paper will be

Area = width × length = 12\times \frac{57}{4} = 171 inches²

Dimensions of the other rectangular paper has been given as

Width = 10\frac{1}{4} = \frac{41}{4} inches

Length = 10\frac{1}{2} = \frac{21}{2} inches

So, the area of this rectangle will be

Area = width × length = \frac{41}{4} \times \frac{21}{2} = 107.63 inches²

Thus the total area she need to cut = 171 + 107.63 = 278.63 square inches.

A dog chases a squirrel. The dog is originally 200 feet away from the squirrel. The dog's speed is 150 feet per minute. The squi
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy:  the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100.  The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know:  the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up.  Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d!  Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem.  However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other.  Here's the dog's equation:

d = rt

d+200 = 150t

And the squirrel's:

d = 100t

If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

\frac{150}{d+200} =\frac{100}{d}

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:

150d = 100d + 20,000 and

50d = 20,000

d = 400

But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took.  So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

t=\frac{100}{d}=\frac{100}{400} =\frac{1}{4}

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.
