Use the Pythagorean theorem

<span>the hypotenuse is the ladder which is 20 ft and the base is 12 ft thus </span>

<span>a^2 + b^2 = c^2 </span>

<span>a^2 + 144 = 400 </span>
<span>a^2 = 256 </span>
<span>a = 16 </span>

<span>so its 16 ft</span><span />

This is pretty easy just use the pythagorean theorem of a^2+b^2=c^2

20 is the hypotenuse
12 is the base
12^2+b^2=20^2
144+b^2=400
b^2=256
b=16

the ladder will reach 16 feet up the wall
hope this helps! :)

Answer:29

so the mini triangle in the corner is a mini model of the entire triangle, all you have to do is take the width or bottom number and find the factor in which it is smaller, then take the height of the smaller triangle and add the factor in which it increases to it. so the factor goes up by 31 1/2--9=22 1/2 and adding the factor in which it increases to the height is 22 1/2+6 1/2=29 because 2 halfs make a whole.

A positive integer is 47 more than 9 times another. Their product is 1860. Find the two integers.
svlad2 [7]
X = 47 + 9y
xy = 1860

y(47 + 9y) = 1860
47y + 9y² = 1860
9y² + 47y - 1860 = 0

> using a quadratic equation solver on a calculator but you can also use the quadratic equation = [-b+/- √(b²-4ac)]/(2a)
> only integer solution is x = 12

12y = 1860
y = 155

integers are 12 and 155
