Answer:

about 17.29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a diagram of the problem, it'll help you "see" the solution easier.

Basically, you have a right-triangle so you can apply Pythagorean theorem:

Let h = height the ladder reaches

h^2 + 5^2 = 18^2

h^2 = 18^2 - 5^2

h^2 = 324 - 25

h^2 = 299

h = sqrt(299)

h = 17.29 feet

ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle is 17/8 or 17:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Diagonal = 34 inches

Length of side = 16 inches

Base= 30 inches

We need to find the ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle.

ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle = \frac{length of diagonal}{length of side}

Putting values:

Ratio=\frac{34}{16} \\Simplifying:\\Ratio=\frac{17}{8}

So, ratio of the diagonal to the side of the rectangle is 17/8 or 17:8

If sales are $425,000, variable costs are 62% of sales, and operating income is $50,000, what is the contribution margin ratio?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

In an internal operating income statement, the form is as such:

(1) Sales (or Revenue) - Total Variable Costs = Contribution Margin;

(2) Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Costs = Operating Income

and

(3) Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

The first equation helps us out. Sales is the whole amount for this statement, or 100%. We know variable costs are 62% and the rest goes to the Cont. Margin.

100% - 68% = 32% (choice A)
