Visualize the image in your mind and you can see that it forms a right angled triangle with a base,altitude and hypotenuse
base=2 feet
hypotenuse(ladder)=13 ft
We need to find the altitude,
By applying pythagoras theorem,
base square+altitude square=hypotenuse square
Take altitude as x
2 square+x square=13 square
4+x square=169
x square=169-4
x square=165
x= root of 165
x=12.8 feet(approx.)
The explanation is here. the rest of the questions must be do by yourself.
Answer: a
Step-by-step explanation: go back to 1 grade (sorry)
A
b
x−c=0
Step 1: Multiply both sides by b.
ax−bc=0
Step 2: Add bc to both sides.
ax−bc+bc=0+bc
ax=bc
Step 3: Divide both sides by x.
ax
x
=
bc
x
a=
bc
x
Answer:
a=
bc
x
