Answer:
The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.
Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.
To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?
Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:
by squaring both sides
10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.
Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.
Here's a pattern to consider:
1+100=101
2+99=101
3+98=101
4+97=101
5+96=101
.....
This question relates to the discovery of Gauss, a mathematician. He found out that if you split 100 from 1-50 and 51-100, you could add them from each end to get a sum of 101. As there are 50 sets of addition, then the total is 50×101=5050
So, the sum of the first 100 positive integers is 5050.
Quick note
We can use a formula to find out the sum of an arithmetic series:
Where s is the sum of the series and n is the number of terms in the series. It works for the above problem.
By rearranging it:
-3x-2x-22xy+4y
=-5x-22xy+4y answer
25/6 converts to 4 1/6 so
4 1/6 x 2 = 8 1/3
8 1/3 is your answer :)
