Using the Pythagoras theorem 

15^2 = x^2 + h^2   where h = height of ladder on the nuiding

h^2 = 15^2 - 6^2  =  189

 = 13.75 ft to nearest hundredth

Answer:

The height of the building does the ladder reach is 13.75 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A painter leans a 15 ft ladder against a building. The base of the ladder is 6 ft from the building.

To find : How high on the building does the ladder reach?

Solution :

Let us take AC=Length of a ladder  =15 ft

BC = Distance between ladder base and wall of a building = 6 ft

AB = Height of the building does the ladder reach =h

Triangle formed is angle ABC which is right angle triangle.  

Applying the Pythagoras theorem,

AC^2 =AB^2 + BC^2

15^2 =h^2 + 6^2

225 =h^2 + 36

h=\sqrt{225-36}

h=\sqrt{189}

h=13.75

Therefore, The height of the building does the ladder reach is 13.75 ft.

What is the slope of the line shown?<br><br> -7/9<br> 9/7<br> 7/9<br> -9/7
SpyIntel [72]

To find slope, we must find the change in y values divided by the change in x values, also called the rise/run. This is modeled below:

Slope = m = (y1 - y2)/(x1-x2) = (6-(-3))/(1 - (-6)) = (6+3)/(1+6) = 9/7

We can check that this answer is correct by consulting the graph. The graph shows a positive correlation (means that the slope should be positive), and if you count the graph unit squares, you get that the graph moves up 9 squares and over 7 squares between the two points shown, letting us know we got the right answer.

Hope this helps!

RAMP<br> 21.7 ft<br> 8.5 ft<br> 12 ft<br> 20 ft<br> 1. What is the total surface area of the ramp?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

772.4 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

find the area of each face. first the slanted rectangle. the dimensions of the slanted rectangle are 21.7ft by 12ft. so the area is 21.7*12=260.4ft^2. for the two triangles on the sides, each on has an area of 20*8.5/2=85. next for the smaller rectangle, the dimensions are 12ft by 8.5ft giving us an area of 102 ft^2. lastly for the base, it has dimensions of 20ft by 12ft giving us an area of 240ft^2. now you just add up all the areas: 260.4+85+85+102+240=772.4 (you might want to check my addition just in case)
