We can utilize the Pythagorean theorem to answer this.

11 is the hypotenuse in this case, and 2 is one of the legs.

11² = 2² + x² =

121 = 4 + x²

117 = x²

√117 = x

Answer = √117

Answer:  \sqrt{117} feet or about 10.82 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given situation , the ladder meeting the ground and the building is making right triangle with them [∵ building is standing vertical to the ground.]  

Then, by Pythagoras theorem of right triangles , we have

l^2=h^2+b^2    (1), where l is ladder's height ,l h is building's height and b is the base .

Given : The base of a 11 foot ladder is 2 feet from a building .

i.e. l = 11 foot and b = 2 foot

Substitute the values in the above formula (1) we get

(11)^2=h^2+(2)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 121=h^2+4\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=121-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2= 117\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\sqrt{117}=10.8166538264\approx10.82 \text{ feet}

Hence, the height of building is \sqrt{117} feet or about 10.82 feet.

The rectangle below has an area of 70y⁸ 30y⁶. The width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 70y⁸
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The Width of the Rectangle =10y^6

\text{Length of the Rectangle}=210y^8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle =70y^8 30y^6.

We are told that the width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 70y^8 \: and\: 30y^6.

Let us determine the greatest common monomial factor of 70y^8 \: and\: 30y^6.

Express each term as a product to pick out the common factors:

70y^8 =7X10Xy^6Xy^2\\30y^6=3X10Xy^6

In the two terms, the common terms are 10 and y^6. Therefore their greatest monomial factor =10y^6

The Width of the Rectangle =10y^6

Recall: Area of a Rectangle =Length X Width

70y^8 30y^6=Length X 10y^6\\Length =70y^8 30y^6 \div 10y^6 \\=\dfrac{70X30Xy^8Xy^6}{10y^6} =210y^8\\\text{Length of the Rectangle}=210y^8

Solve for x and justify your answer ​
Scorpion4ik [409]
The answer is 51°.

The top two lines are parallel to each other. Therefore alternate interior angles theorem applies. The bottom right corner that is underneath the line (for lack of a better description) is also 58°.

We also know that a triangle equals 180°. So 58+71= 129°.

So to find that missing angle we subtract 129 from 180 to get the 51°.

How is dividing decimals different from dividing whole numbers?Please answer immediately.
Masteriza [31]
If you divide decimals you have to bring up the decimal point but if you divide whole numbers you dont have any decimal points so you just divide the numbers. Sorry if i didnt help i just wanted to help.
