The answer is 9.0 because 8.5 is above 5 and to the nearest tenth it would be 9.0
You can not solve this because the values are different... If the values were both Px and Px or Qx and Qx you will be able to solve the problem but you can not according to the fact that they aren't the same letters. So therefore, this equation has no solution.
Hope this helped!!!
Given:
bottom of the plank or ground is 9 feet from the wall
length of the plant is 41 ft
height of the wall is unknown.
Let us use the Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
a² + (9ft)² = (41ft)²
a² + 81 ft² = 1,681 ft²
a² = 1,681 ft² - 81 ft²
a² = 1,600 ft²
√a² = √1,600 ft²
a = 40 ft
The height of the wall is 40 ft.
