A)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
As a ladder is leaning against a house, it forms right angle triangle. And for right angleΔ, we use Pythagoras theorem.i.e
P²+B²= H²
Where,
'P' is perpendicular i.e the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground
'B' is base i.e be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house
'H' is hypotenuse i.e 13
considering 'x' as perpendicular
So, base would be 'x-7'
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
x² + (x-7)²= 13²
x² +x² -14x +49 =169
2x² -14x -120= 0
x² -7x -60=0 ----> solving the quadratic equation
x² + 5x -12x-60=0
x(x+5) -12(x+5)=0
Either : x+5=0 => x=-5
OR: x-12=0 => x=12
We'll choose the positive length.
therefore , The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 12 feet
Answer:
Gradient: m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
m = change in y/change in x
m = 
m = 
m = 12/4
m = 3
You can set up a system of equations for this problem. x= number of coach tickets and y = number of first class tickets.
$210x + $1200y = $10,230 (cost of coach ticket plus cost of first class tickets is total budget)
x + y = 11 (number of coach tickets plus number of first class tickets is total number of people)
Solve the second equation for y to get y = 11 - x, then plug that into the first equation and solve for x:
$210x + $1200(11 - x) = $10,230
$210x + $13,200 - $1200x = $10,230
-$990x + $13,200 = $10,230
-$990x = $2,970
x = 3
Sarah bought x = 3 coach tickets. Plug that into the second equation and solve for y:
3 + y = 11
y = 8
Sarah bought y = 8 first class tickets.
