same thing as:
there are two 8's and two x's in there so they can come out to give you the
answer 8x
We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet
I can answer 18 for you, but I don't understand 16
18. Since when we lose 3 girls the ratio for the girls side drops by 1, that tells us that 1 digit equals 3 people.
a) 5*3=15 so our answer is 15 girls.
b) 4*3=12 and 5*3=15 so 15+12, our answer would be 27
Answer:
f(4) =11
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=3x-1
Let x = 4
f(4)=3*4-1
= 12-1
= 11
