Apply the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 5, b = 13.

5^2 = 25, 13^2 = 169

25 + 169 = 194

square root 194 = 13.928, rounded to nearest foot = 14 ft. 

The minimum ladder length required to reach the top of the wall = 14 ft.

Answer:

C) 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of ladder ,

The distance of ladder from the wall = 13 ft,

And, the height of wall = 5 ft,

Since, the length of ladder is minimum when the wall is straight,

In this condition,

l^2=(\text{The distance of ladder from the wall})^2+(\text{Height of wall})^2

\implies l^2=13^2+5^2

\implies l^2 = 169 + 25 = 194

\implies l=13.9283883\approx 14

Hence, the approximate minimum length of the ladder is 14 ft.

The distance between points (5,9) and (-7,-7)
ankoles [38]
You need to find the change in x and y 

change in x = 12 
change in y = 16 

to find the distance you use a^2+ b^2 = c^2
or in this case x^2 + y^2 = d^2

144+256 = 400 

\sqrt{400}

=20 
so distance equals 20


I hope this helps!

The Greek alphabet contains 24 letters. How many fraternity names with Greek letters can be formed if each fraternity name conta
ankoles [38]
For the first letter we have 24 choices. Since letters can't repeat the second letter has 23 choices (24 minus 1 that was used for the first slot) and the third has 22 (24 minus one for the first slot and one for the second slot).

The total number of combinations is thus: 24 x 23 x 22= 12,144

Cy+4=d−9y solve for y
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Answer:

y= d−4 /c+9

Step-by-step explanation:

cy+4=d−9y

Step 1: Add 9y to both sides.

cy+4+9y=d−9y+9y

cy+9y+4=d

Step 2: Add -4 to both sides.

cy+9y+4+−4=d+−4

cy+9y=d−4

Step 3: Factor out variable y.

y(c+9)=d−4

Step 4: Divide both sides by c+9.

y(c+9)  c+9 = d−4 /c+9

y= d−4 /c+9
