Answer:
10/12 or simplified its 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
3+7 = 10
you keep the 12
10÷2 = 5
12÷2=6
common denominator
We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet
Answer:
21/20
20/29
21/20
20/29
21/29
20/21
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Soh Cah Toa for each, using the right equation for the right angle
e.g for sin(z) we use the opposite/adjacent for that angle
- the hypotenuse is the biggest size
- the opposite is the side opposite to the angle you are using
- the adjacent is the other side
y=1/3x-1
We know straight away that the y intercept is -1 from the equation.
y-intercept: (0,-1)
To find the x intercept plug in 0 for y in the equation.
y=1/3x-1
0=1/3x-1
1/3x=1
x=3
x-intercept: (3,0)
answers: y-intercept: (0,-1) and x-intercept: (3,0)
