Jason accidentally locked himself out of his apartment, but remembered that he left a window open. The window is 8 feet above th

e ground. Since he works part-time at the local hardware store, he went to the store to borrow a ladder. There's a row of bushes along the edge of the apartment, so he will have to place the ladder 6 feet from the building. What length of ladder will Jason need to reach the window?

I won't give you the answer, but I'll explain how to solve it :)

    | <Window is here, 8ft above ground

    |

    |

    |   _     _    _    _   _   _

                                         ^ He has to place ladder here, 6ft away from building

So you have to find the diagonal distance between the point where he has to place the ladder and where the window is. Because it creates a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2=c^2) to find the length of the hypotenuse, or the diagonal distance. a and b are the two sides, so in this case a = 8 and b = 6. Now just square a and b, add them together to get c, and find the square root. What do you get? Feel free to ask if you're still confused.

Answer:

I Think Its 14 Feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

14 feet because the window is 8 feet high and he has to move it back 6 feet. So when you add 8 and 4 you would get the answer of 14 feet.

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:5 what fraction of the class is boys and what fraction of the class is girls
ale4655 [162]
First, let's start off with the information we already have. Since the ratio is 4 boys to 5 girls, there has to be a minimum of 9 students (4 being boys and 5 being girls).

9 will be the denominator of both of our fractions since the boys and girls are in the same class.

The fraction of boys in the class is 4/9 (since there are 4 boys to 5 girls in a class of 9, we would write 4 over 9) and the fraction of girls in the class is 5/9.

This is a simplified version of the fractions. If this is a multiple-answer question and 4/9 and 5/9 are not up there, try multiplying the fractions with different numbers and see what fractions will be correct. 

But either way, 4/9 and 5/9 are correct :)
