Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

leg of triangle=  height of ladder = 15 feet

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle  = length of ladder = L

base = 6 feet

What is length of ladder?

L^2 = 15^2 + 6^2 = 225 + 36 = 261

L = root(261)  = 16.155 feet

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Toney buys the coat for $ 14.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of coat =$ 22

Mark up by 75 %

discount = 10 %

Let toney pay $ R for the coat.

So, according to the question

R + 75 % R = 1.75 R

Now the cost is

1.75 R - 15 % of 1.75 R = 22

1.75 R - 0.2625 R = 22

R = 14.8

So, he buy the coat for $ 14.8.
