Since I can't draw a model the answer is equal because if you reduce 6/8 the answer is 3/4
Hello!
I've attached the diagram.
For this problem, since you have a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to fine the length of the ladder (the hypotenuse of the triangle).
Pythagorean Theorem (where c is the hypotenuse):
a² + b² = c²
The triangle's leg lengths are 8 and 6; substitute into the theorem:
8² + 6² = c²
Simplify:
64 + 36 = c²
100 = c²
10 = c
Answer:
The length of the ladder is 10 m.
Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
5m<6m+6
Step 1: Subtract 6m from both sides.
5m−6m<6m+6−6m
−m<6
Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.
−m / −1 < 6 / −1
m>−6
Answer:
m>−6
There's no diagram, so I made my own.
But I can't prove AD = 2*AB
