By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48
The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.
Answer:
3.98 x 10^7
Step-by-step explanation:
Sec^2 x - 1 = tan^2x
Proof:
Sec^2x = 1+ tan^2x
1/cos^2x = 1 + sin^2x/cos^2x
<span>1/cos^2x - sin^2x/cos^2x = 1
</span>Using common denominator:
(1-sin^2x)/cos^2x = 1
sin^2x + cos^2 x = 1
cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2x
Substituting :
cos^2x/<span>cos^2x = 1
</span>1 = 1
Left hand side = right hand side
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Total surveyed (u) = 120
n(Cane's chicken fingers) = 50
n(Layne's chicken fingers) = 80
n(do not like either) = 10
a)
What is the probability that someone surveyed likes both Raising Cane's and Layne's chicken fingers?
n(Cane's n Layne's) = 20
u = 120
P = required outcome / total possible outcomes
P(Layne's and Cane's chicken) = [n(Cane's n Layne's)/ u]
= 20 / 120
= 1/6
Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
10 kg of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts
60(10)
plus
15 kg of a different brand of mixed nuts. with x% peanuts
x(15)
=
That makes 25 kg with 54% peanuts
54(25)
--------------------------
Equation
60(10) + x(15) = 54(25)
600 + 15x = 1350
Subtract 600 from both sides
15x = 750
Diviede both sides by 15
x = 50
50%
