Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the wall. The straight line distance from the bottom of the window to the ground forms the opposite side. The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house represents the adjacent side. To determine the required length of the wire, c, we would Pythagorean theorem which us expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

c² = 6² + 5² = 36 + 25 = 61

c = √61 = 7.81 ft

A triangle has a height that is 4 /3 the length of its base. If the length of its base is 24 cm, what is its area?
ASHA 777 [7]
Triangle Area = ½ * height * base

base = 24 therefore
height = (4/3) * base = (4/3) * base = 32 cm

Triangle Area = ½ * 32 * 24
= 384 cubic centimeters

The grade received on a certain teacher's 100-point test varies in direct proportion to the amount of time a student spends prep
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

She would receive 96 points

Step-by-step explanation:

The grade (Y) received on a certain teacher's 100-point test varies in direct proportion to the amount of time(t) a student spends preparing for the test.

Mathematically

Y= kt

Where k is constant of proportionality

If y= 72 and t= 3

72=k3

72/3= k

24= k

So

Y= 24t

If t= 4

Y= kt

Y= 24(4)

Y= 96

Y = 96 points

She would receive 96 points
