5.2 is less because it's a lower number and still a decimal
Height of building =60 feet (where woman is trapped)
distance of bottom of ladder from base of building = 40 feet
This makes a right angled triangle as shown in figure.
here hypotenuse =length of ladder
base = distance of bottom of ladder from base of building = 40 feet
perpendicular =Height of building =60 feet (where woman is trapped)
So here we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of ladder.
Hypotenuse² = base² + perpendicular²
height of ladder = √(60² +(40)² = √3600 +1600 = √5200
height of ladder = 72.1 feet
1) y= -4x+c
2) y= 3x+c replace x and y to find c , 5=3(2)+c
C= -1
Y=3x-1
3) find slope first m=y2-y1/x2-x1 = 0-(-1)/-2-1 = 1/-3 and now you have y= -1/3x+c to find c just replace any of the given points , 0= -1/3(-2)+c
C= -2/3 and so y= -1/3x-2/3
4) DO THE SAME STEP AS NUMBER 3 and enjoy!
