A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall. It hits the wall 9 feet up. How far is the base of the ladder from the wall? Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to this problem

triangle

side S1 = 9 feet

hypotenuse H = 10 feet

side S2 - X = ?

the Pythagorean Theorem

H x H = S1 x S1 + S2 x S2 = S1 x S1 + X x X

X x X = H x H - S1 x S1 = 10 x 10 - 9 x 9 = 100 - 91 = 9

X x X = 9

X = 3

How far is the base of the ladder from the wall? 3 feet

check:

H x H = S1 x S1 + X x X

10 x 10 = 9 x 9 + 3 x 3

100 = 91 +9 = 100

The difference of the expression is as follows:

(6y⁴ + 3y² - 7) - (12y⁴ - y² + 5) = - 6y⁴ + 4y² - 12

3(x - 5) - (2x + 4) = x - 19

<h3>How to find the difference of the expression?</h3>

The difference of the expression can be found when we combine the like terms.

Therefore,

(6y⁴ + 3y² - 7) - (12y⁴ - y² + 5)

6y⁴ + 3y² - 7  - 12y⁴ + y² - 5

6y⁴ - 12y⁴ + 3y² + y² - 7 - 5

- 6y⁴ + 4y² - 12

3(x - 5) - (2x + 4)

3x - 15 - 2x - 4

3x - 2x - 15 - 4

x - 19

Find the measure of each acute angle.
Alona [7]

Answer:

(19x - 1)° = 56°

(13x - 5)° = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of the interior angles of a triangle:

Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Therefore, sum of angles of the given right triangle will be,

(19x - 1)° + (13x - 5)° + 90° = 180°

32x - 6 + 90 = 180

32x = 96

x = 3

(19x - 1)° = 19×3 - 1 = 56°

(13x - 5)° = 13×3 - 5 = 34°

Find the angle measure of b
Lilit [14]
13) b=145 because a line equals 180° so you subtract 35° from 180°
14) b=61 because it as right angle so 90 minus 29 equals 61
15) b= 23 because 360 is a full circle so you add 243 and 94 and get 337 then subtract 337 from 360
16)b=131 because you subtract 49 from 180
17) b=90 because you subtract 90 from 180
18) b=73 because of vertical angles
