The ladder resting against the house forms a triangle similar to the one in the image below
To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = x
b = 4
c = 20
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
solve for x
+ 16 = 400
= 384
x = 8√6
or
x ≈ 19.5959....
Hope this helped!

Answer:
4=4x
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula y=mx+b
corresponds to y=slope+y intercept
all proportional relationships start on the origin so the y-intercept is always 0
the fact that the equation y = 4x doesn't have an intercept shows its proportional this can go with any similar equation like y = 4.5x
You have to use the distributive property, therefore you get 2x+13/3.
The next step is to do 2 x 5 because they gave us a number for the variable x. Then you have to do 2 x 13 which gives us 26.
10+26=36 and 36/3=12, hope I helped, Have a nice day! :)
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
a² = b²+c²
As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:
b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16
With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10
Answer:
305 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
you only need to replace the given data into the equation.
the value (y) is the one you are being asked to find and (x) is the given one
so:
y=8.5(x)-77.5
y=8.5(45)-77.5
y=382.5-77.5
y=305
since the units are given, you instantly know that y=305feet
