Gwar [14]2 years ago
3 0

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

The perimeter of the tennis court is 228 feet. what are the dimensions of the court?
julsineya [31]
From a reliable source, the ratio between the width and the length of the tennis court is equal to 5:12. We let x be the common factor of the given ratio such that the width is equal to 5x and the length is equal to 12x. 

The perimeter of the figure is calculated through the equation,
              P = 2L + 2W
where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width. 

Substituting the derived expressions to the equation above.

             228 = (2)(12x) + 2(5x)
                x = 114/17
The width and length are calculated below.
     Width = (5)(114/17) = 570/17 ft = 33.53 ft
     Length = (12)(114/17) = 1368/17 ft = 80.47 ft

Thus, the dimensions are approximately 33.53 ft and 80.47 ft.
