Answer:

by applying Pythagoras theorem;

the ladder(13m) acts as hypotenuse

the wall (12m) acts as height

the distance between the the two is the base

therefore

a² + b² = c²

b²= c²- a²

b²= 169 - 144

b² = 25

√b² = √25

b= 5m

the distance is 5m

Gregory knows that Triangle A B C is reflected onto Triangle A prime B prime C prime. Which statement about the figures is true?
ziro4ka [17]
Answer: if Gregory draws the segment with endpoints A and A’, then the midpoint will lie on the line of reflection.

Explanation:

Given that a triangle ABC is reflected in triangle A'B'C'

Here reflection is done on a line

If you imagine the line as a mirror then ABC will have image on the mirror line as A'B'C'

Recall that in a mirror the object and image would be equidistant from the mirror and also the line joining the image and object would be perpendicular to the mirror

But note that corresponding images will only be perpendicular bisector to the line

So A and A' only will be corresponding so AA' will have mid point on line

Option 1 is right

Answer:

  £592 for 16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

The classroom floor area is ...

  A = LW = (8.8 m)(2.2 m) = 19.36 m²

The cupboard floor area is ...

  A = (2.3 m)(2.1 m) = 4.83 m²

Then the total area to be covered is ...

  19.36 m² +4.83 m² = 24.19 m²

At 1.6 m² per box, the number of boxes required is ...

  (24.19 m²)/(1.6 m²/box) = 15.12 boxes

If we assume we can only purchase whole boxes, we need to purchase 16 boxes to cover the floor. The cost will be ...

  (16 boxes)(£37/box) = £592 . . . . cost of laminate to replace the floor
