Answer:
≈ 20.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle is formed between the wall, the ground and the ladder.
The ladder is the hypotenuse , the wall and ground are the legs.
let h be the height of the wall, then using Pythagoras' identity
h² + 33² = 39²
h² + 1089 = 1521 ( subtract 1089 from both sides )
h² = 432 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
≈ 20.8 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
set up an equation for this. x will be the score of the losing team. x+2x=96. Then solve for x. 3x=96. x=96/3 x=32. So the losing team got 32 points and the winning team got 64
