strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{11}(n-10)=64\\\\\frac{8(x-10)}{11}=64\\ 8(x-10) = 64(11)\\8(x-10) = 704\\8x-80 = 704\\8x= 704+80\\8x=784\\\\\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{784}{8} \\x=98$

The base of a 15-foot ladder is 6 feet from a building. If the ladder reaches the flat roof, how tall is the building?

Vlad [161]

Answer:

the answer would be 13.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the tall is the building as follows:

Given that

Base is 6 foot

And, the hypotheses is 15 feet

Here we use the Pythagoras theorem

= √15^2 - √6^2

= √225 - √36

= √189

= 13.75 feet

Hence the answer would be 13.75 feet
