According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right-angled triangle equals to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, which equals to the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the tree + the distance we want to find (x):
5² + x² = 13²
25 + x² = 169
x² = 144
x = √144 = 12.
The distance between the ground and the top of the ladder is 12 ft.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular, they create 4 90° angles. Meaning, in this case, that m<DBC = 90 and m<DBA = 90.
We're given that m<DBE = 2x - 1 and that m<CBE = 5x - 42.
The sum of angles DBE and CBE = m<DBC = 90°
We can add the two angles and set it equal to 90 to find x
Answer:
(9-j)-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start from the beginning and subtract j from 9. Because the word "from" is used, 9 will be the first number and j will be the second number.
We have 9-j
Now, we have to subtract 3 from the final answer. So, we have (9-j)-3
Answer:
y = x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this, we need to use point-slope form.:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitute the numbers into the equation:
y - (-8) = 1(x - 0)
y + 8 = x
y = x - 8
Answer: 20
