The top of angies ladder is resting against the side of her house 22 feet above the ground.If the base of the ladder is 5 feet f
rom the house what is the slope of the ladder
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.
Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2
AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509
AC = √509
AC = 22.56
The slope of the ladder is
(change in y)/(change in x)
Slope = 22/5 = 4.4

Answer: 1:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r be the radius and h be the height of a cylinder.
Formula: Curved surface area of cylinder =
Now, if radius of a cylinder is doubled and its height is halved, then new radius will be R= 2r and new height will be
Now, new surface area =
Ratio of curved surface areas :
Hence, the ratios of their surface areas = 1:1 .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the quadratic equation
6 = x^2 -10x
Rearranging we get,
x^2-10x-6=0
Using quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation
a= 1, b =-10 and c=6
Putting values in the quadratic formula
So,
