Answer:
From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:
12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16
Answer:
a2=12 (the second term of the sequence is 12)
Step-by-step explanation:
a5=324
If the term to term rule is multiply by any number, we deal with geometrical sequence
The formula you should use is an= a1*r^(n-1) where n is the number of the term which we know. In our case we know
a5, so use 5 instead of n
Then you have a5=a1*r^4 where r is the number 3 (because each next term is greater than previous in 3 times)
a5=324
324= a1*3^4
324=a1*81
a1=4 (We find the first term of sequence, because having it you can easily search for every term )
Return to the formula an= a1*r^n-1
Now search for the second term using 2 instead of n in the formula
a2= a1*r^1
a2=a1*r, a1=4, r=3
a2=4*3=12
