Idk use Socratic but if not cry cuz math sucks
The pattern oh the problem is 24,23 so subtract 1 every time
Answer: 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This represents a right angled triangle with the length of the slide being the hypotenuse, the height of the ladder being the height of the triangle and the distance from the base of the ladder being the length.
Solve with Pythagoras rule:
c² = a² + b²
c = hypotenuse
a= length
b = height
29² = 21² + b²
841 = 441 + b²
b² = 841 - 441
b² = 400
b = √400
b = 20 feet
Lets write an equation for each guy's shots and score:
4A + 2B = 18
3A + 3B = 21
To solve we multiply the first equation by -3 and the second by 2:
-12A - 6B = -54
6A + 6B = 42
--------------------
-12A + 0 = -12
A = 1
to find B we substitute in the first equation:
<span>4A + 2B = 18
</span><span>4(1) + 2B = 18
</span><span>4 + 2B = 18
</span>2B = 14
B = 7
therefore there were given 7 points in an arrow in B
