Answer:

From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:

12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16

Elena's hanging plant grew 6 inches in 4 months. At that rate, how many inches will it grow in 10 months

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The plant will grow 15 inches in 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is 6 inches = 4 months, and that may not sound like much but we can get the answer just from that tidbit.

Cross multiply :

$\frac{6 inches}{4 months}$ = $\frac{x}{10 months}$

4x = 60

Divide by 4 on both sides.

x = 15.

Therefore the plant will grow 15 inches in 10 months. Please mark brainliest! :)

what is the simplified expression of the following polynomial: xy4 + 5y7 - (6xy + 7y7) - x8y2 + (-3xy4) Step by Step

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

-x^8y^2 -2y^7 -2xy^4 -6xy

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliminate parentheses.

xy^4 + 5y^7 - 6xy - 7y^7 - x^8y^2 -3xy^4

Arrange in descending degree order, group like terms.

-x^8y^2 +(5y^7 -7y^7) +(xy^4 -3xy^4) -6xy

Combine like terms.

-x^8y^2 -2y^7 -2xy^4 -6xy

The answer would be D I and II only

My work:
The only answer that has both statement I and statement II as true is D<span>, but if you have time and want to be absolutely thorough, you can also check to see if statement III is true </span>

Medal award ceremonies are held after each event. The following three flags are used to represent the gold, silver, and bronze m

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having the information on how many events there are and how many people in each event there would help me personally solve this

what i can tell you is its a probability thing a tree diagram is starting with something, like flipping a coin, and creating a branch for heads and tails, 0.5 for each branch. like the attachment I have on here. there's only 2 probable results from a coin, but if I have 5 events with 50 competitors I've created a lot more probable outcomes, it also depends on the events, if one of my competitors in 6'9" and ones 5'2" and the event is a dunk contest it would be slightly unfair and the probability of the person who is 5'2" changing your tree diagram :)
