Answer:

14.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be the hypotenuse, the distance from the wall be the base and the height till the ladder reaches be the perpendicular.

Using Pythogoras theorem,

H^2 = p^2+b^2

p^2 = H^2-b^2

p = under root(H^2-b^2)

p = under root(225 - 12.25)

p = 14.6 feet

Solve for x: one over five (5x + 12) = 18 (2 points)
Usimov [2.4K]
If you mean the equation 1/5 (5x +12) =18 then your answer would be x=15.6 or in the exact form of 78/5

Explanation : Start off with distributive property 1/5•5x and 1/5 •12, your equation should end up with 1x +2.4 =18 continue by using the 2.4 and doing the opposite, you will have 1x+2.4-2.4=18-2.4, after calculation you will have 1x=15.6 ,you can finish there or you can divide the 15.6 by one witch is still 15.6 , therefore getting your answer that is x=15.6
