<u>Answer</u>


= 14.6 feet


<u>Explanation</u>

The length of the ladder is 15 feet and it is place against the wall 3.5 feet from the base of the wall.

This makes a right triangle with a base length of 3.5 feet and a hypotenuse of 15 feet.

So, we can use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the height required.

a² = c² - b²

Where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

a² = c² - b²

h² = 15² - 3.5²

h² = 225 -12.25

= 212.75


h = √212.75

= 14.58595215

3. A prescription for an ointment has 3.5 mL of liquid menthol in a total of 220 mL. Calculate the percentage (v/v) of liquid me
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The percentage (V/V) of liquid menthol in the ointment is 1.59%.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A prescription for an ointment has 3.5 mL of liquid menthol in a total of 220 mL.

To find : Calculate the percentage (V/V) of liquid menthol in the ointment ?

Solution :

Volume of liquid menthol is V_m= 3.5\ mL

Total volume of ointment is V_t= 220\ mL

The V/V percentage is given by,

\frac{V}{V}\%=\frac{V_m}{V_t}\times 100

\frac{V}{V}\%=\frac{3.5}{220}\times 100

\frac{V}{V}\%=0.0159\times 100

\frac{V}{V}\%=1.59\%

Therefore, the percentage (V/V) of liquid menthol in the ointment is 1.59%.
