Answer:

11.31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this problem ladder forms a right triangle with the wall of the house and it is acts as hypotenuse, length of one leg of right triangle given to be 4 feet.

Let the ladder reaches x ft height of the house.

Hence, by Pythagoras theorem:

{12}^{2}  =  {4}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  \\  144 = 16 + {x}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 144 - 16 \\  {x}^{2}  = 128 \\ x =  \sqrt{128}  \\ x = 11.3137085 \\ x = 11.31 \: ft

Hence, the ladder reaches 11.31 ft height of the house.

Vikki [24]
If the legs are length a and b and hyptonuse is c then
a²+b²=c²

so
if the legs are 20 and 21 and the hypotnuse is x then
20²+21²=x²
400+441=x²
841=x²
29=x

20


EXPLANATION


The number of children between the ages of 9 and 15 who visited the park are those within the age group 9 to 12 and 12 to 15.


We can from the graph that, the height of the bar that corresponds to the age group 9 to 12

= 14
and the height of the bar that corresponds to the age group 12 to 15

= 6


The sum of the two frequencies

= 14 + 6 = 20

On field day, Breanna long jumped 62 inches, Myquisha jumped 5 feet 4 inches, and Ariana jumped 1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches. Which
ella [17]
Let’s convert all their jumps into inches.

Breanna’s is already in inches (62)

Myquisha jumped 5 feet 4 inches
There are 12 inches in a foot, so

5 feet * 12 inches= 60 inches

Then add the 4 inches
60+4= 64
So Myquisha jumped 64 inches.


Ariana jumped 1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches

1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

So, she jumped 5 feet 7 inches

12 inches in a foot, so
5*12=60 inches

Add the 7
60+7= 67 inches

So Breanna jumped 62, Myquisha 64 and Ariana 67

In order of shortest to longest:

Breanna, Myquisha, Ariana
