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

levacccp [35]

190/5 = 38

So, they can make 38 quarts in an hour.

38 * 36 = 1,368

They can make 1,368 quarts in 36 hours.

John drew a trapezoid ABCD on a coordinate plane. The coordinates are as follows
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sides of A is (8,4) and the coordinates of D is (8-1), the same value in both coordinates are 8 and the different values are 4 (A) and -1 (D). We will take the absolute values (AV) of both when added: |4 + -1|.

The answer will be<u><em> 5 grids</em></u> (or whatever measurements the question uses).

A rectangle flower bed is 9 feet wide and 12 feet long .what is the length of the diagonal?​
BigorU [14]

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question talks about;

  • A rectangular flower bed whose dimensions are 12 ft by 9 ft

We are required to determine the length of the diagonal

To answer the question, we need to know the following;

  • All the angles in a rectangle are right angles
  • A diagonal divides a rectangle into two right-angled triangles
  • The dimensions of the rectangle acts as the legs of right angled triangle.

Therefore;

Using Pythagoras theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Where, c is the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal)

a and b are the shorter sides of the right-angled triangle

Therefore;

c² = 12² + 9²

c² = 144 + 81

   = 225

c = √225

  = 15

Therefore, the length of the diagonal is 15 feet

Which point of concurrency is NOT always inside a triangle? Check all that apply. A. circumcenter B. incenter C. orthocenter D.
timama [110]

Answer:

Option A. is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumcenter is a point of intersection of all the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle.

The incenter is a point of intersection of all the angle bisectors of a triangle.

The orthocenter is a point of intersection of all the altitudes of a triangle.

The centroid is a point of intersection of all the medians of a triangle.

The incenter, orthocenter, and centroid always lie inside a triangle.

However, a circumcenter does not always lie inside a triangle.

In an acute-angled triangle, the circumcenter may lie inside or outside the triangle.

So,

Option A. is correct
