If you place a 39-foot ladder against the top of a 23-foot building, how many feet will

Alborosie

Answer:

31.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 23² = 39²

Subtract 23² from both sides

a² = 39² - 23²

a² = 1521 - 529

a² = 992

Take the square root of both sides

a = 31.496031496

Rounded

a = 31.5 ft

If rs =3x + 1, st = 2x- 2 ,and rt = 64,find the value of x

stealth61 [152]

rs + st = rt Plug in the values
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64 Combine like terms (1 and -2)
3x -1 + 2x = 64 Combine like terms (3x and 2x)
-1 + 5x = 64 Add 1 to both sides
5x = 65 Divide both sides by 5
x = 13

A cleaning company charged $125 to clean a 2500 square foot house. The same company charged $146 to clean a 3200 square foot hou

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The cost is y = $185

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us have points spelt out here

(2500,125) and (3200,146)

The general form of a straight line equation is;

y = mx + b

where m is slope

So to calculate the slope in this case, we have

m = (146-125)/(3200-2500)

m = 21/700 = 0.03

So we have the equation as

y = 0.03x + b

To get b, we use any of the two points

Let us use (2500,125)

So we have

125 = 0.03(2500) + b

125 = 75 + b

b = 125-75

b = 50

So the complete equation of the line is;

y = 0.03x + 50

So here, we want to find the cost of a house with 4500 square feet

simply substitute 4,500 for x

y = 0.03(4500) + 50

y = 135 + 50

y = $185

The coordinates of polygon ABCD are A(-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3). Use these coordinates to complete the sentences belo

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The perimeter of polygon ABCD, to the nearest thousandth units is

22.227 units

The perimeter of polygon ABCD', to the nearest thousandth, would be 20.980 units

The area of polygon ABCD' is 19.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates forming the polygon are

A (-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3)

The perimeter then is given by the sum of the length of the sides as follows;

Length of line between two X and Y points distance, xi and yj apart is

length XY = $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Therefore, the length between points AB is

length AB = $\sqrt{(-4 - (-2))^2+(-1-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(-4 +2)^2+(-4)^2} = \sqrt{-2^2+-4^2} = \sqrt{20}$ = 4.472 units

Similarly, length BC is given by

Length BC = $\sqrt{(-4)^2+1^2} = \sqrt{17}$ = 4.123 units

Length CD = $\sqrt{(-2)^2+5^2} = \sqrt{29}$ = 5.385 units

Length DA = $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2} = \sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 units

The perimeter is equal to;

length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length DA

= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 8.246 = 22.227 units

If the point D is moved up 2 units and left 1 unit we have

D' = x-1, y+2 where x and y are the coordinates of point D

D(4, -3) → D'((4-1), (-3+2)) = D'(3, -1)

The length D'A = $\sqrt{(7)^2+(0)^2} = \sqrt{49}$ =7 units

The perimeter of polygon ABCD'

length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length D'A

= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 7 = 20.980 units.

The area is given by the determinant of the 3 by 3 matrix using Cramer's Rule as follows

$S_{\bigtriangleup}$ = $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1y_2+x_2y_3+x_3y_1-x_1y_3-x_2y_1-x_3y_2|$

= $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|$

Triangle ABC we have

A(-4,-1)

B(-2,3)

C(2,2)

$S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABC}$ = $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|$

$=(\frac{1}{2})|(-4)(3-2)+(-2)(2-(-1)) +2((-1)-3)|$

= $=(\frac{1}{2})|-4-6 -8|= 9 units^2$

Triangle ACD'

A(-4,-1)

C(2,2)

D'(3, -1)

$S_{{\bigtriangleup}ACD'}$ = $(\frac{1}{2})|x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1) +x_3(y_1-y_2)|$

$=(\frac{1}{2})|(-4)(2+1)+(2)(-1+1) +3((-1)-2)| = \frac{21}{2}$ = 10.5 units²

Area of polygon = $S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABCD'}$ = $S_{{\bigtriangleup}ABC}$ + $S_{{\bigtriangleup}ACD'}$ = (9 + 10.5) units²

Area of polygon ABCD' = 19.5 units².
