Go to desmos graphing calculator ;)
Answer:
39 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question;
let length of ladder =x feet
height of ladder will be=x-3 feet
ground distance of ladder bottom to building=15 feet
Applying Pythagorean relation
a²+b²=c²
where a=15 feet b=x-3 feet and c=x feet thus
x²-15²=(x-3)²
x²-225=x²-6x+9
collect like term
x²-x²-225-9=-6x
-234= -6x
x= 39 feet length of ladder
distance from ground to top of ladder= 39-3=36 feet
Answer:
11x
Step-by-step explanation:
Forget about the x until the end and add the numbers together.
From lowest to highest:
9.06, 9.08, 9.1, 9.15
3 lowest numbers are 9.06, 9.08, and 9.1
In step three the prblem was incorrect. this is because you have to add four from both sides leading to 8x=20+3x then you have to subtract 3x which is 5x=20. divinding both sides by 5 is:
X=4
