D. It Is The Most Fitting Answer. The Other 3 Equal More Than Needed.
You need to include the radius.
Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.
"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."
means: x+y=28
"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"
means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)
thus, we have the system of equations:
1) x+y= 28
2) x-y=4
adding the 2 equations, we have:
(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4
2x=32
x=32/2=16
x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12
Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12
I got 60 as my answer
you ALWAYS do your parentheses first
then you do 8+5 and that equals 13•6-9
13 times 6 is 78. then you subtract 9 which will leave you with 60. hope that helped ☺️
Answer:
18x - 36
Step-by-step explanation:
In an equilateral triangle the 3 sides are congruent, then
perimeter = 6x - 12 + 6x - 12 + 6x - 12 ← collect like terms
= 18x - 36
