Kali has a 6 meter ladder that she wants to use to get her cat out of a tree. She puts the base of the ladder 2
1 answer:
Answer:
5.7m
Step-by-step explanation:
the easiest way to solve for a side is to draw the question in a diagram (i have done this below). As it is a right-angled triangle and we know 2 of the side, we can use the Pythagoras theorem:
sides a and b are the two shorter sides.
side c is the hypotenuse (longest side)
as shown in the picture below, because we know both sides c and b, we need to change the equation around:
replace these sides with their numbers:
(remember that 32 equals side a squared therefore we need to square root 32 to find the length of side a:
the question says to round to the nearest tenth meter:
Missing side = 5.7m
I hope this was helpful :-)

Consider a Triangle Inequality to prove that these segments could form a triangle;
<em>These segments could not form a triangle</em>
Answer:
a)g: 3x + 4y = 10 b) a:x+y = 5 c) c: 3x + 4y = 10
h: 6x + 8y = 5 b:2x + 3y = 8 d: 6x + 8y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Has no solution
g: 3x + 4y = 10
h: 6x + 8y = 5
Above Equations gives you parallel lines refer attachment
b) has exactly one solution
a:x+y = 5
b:2x + 3y = 8
Above Equations gives you intersecting lines refer attachment
c) has infinitely many solutions
c: 3x + 4y = 10
d: 6x + 8y = 5
Above Equations gives you collinear lines refer attachment
i) if we add x + 2y = 1 to equation x + y = 5 to make an inconsistent system.
ii) if we add x + 2y = 3 to equation x + y = 5 to create infinitely system.
iii) if we add x + 4y = 1 to equation x + y = 5 to create infinitely system.
iv) if we add to x + y =5 equation x + y = 5 to change the unique solution you had to a different unique solution
