This is the concept of application of geometry; the distance that the ladder should be placed will be given by Pythagorean theorem.
thus;
c^2=a^2+b^2
where, c=hypotenuse, a and b are the legs
hence;
15^2+12^2+b^2
b^2=15^2-12^2
b^2=225-144
b^2=81
getting the square root of both sides;
b=sqrt81
b=9
therefore the ladder should be placed 9 feet from the wall for it to reach 12 feet up the building
Answer:
18/36 in simplest form is 1/2.
1 5/8 to an improper fraction is 13/8
19/5 to mixed fraction is 3 4/5 in simplest form
Step-by-step explanation:
18 and 36 in share a common denominator of 18. 18 divided on 18 is 1. 36 divided on 18 is 2. so 1/2 is equivalent to 18/36.
1 5/8 equals one whole (8) plus 5. 8 + 5= 13. 13/5 is your answer
19 divided on 5 is 3.8. 3.8 converted to a fraction is 3 and 0.75. 0.75 in fraction form is 4/5. your answer is 19/5 = 3 4/5 or 3 and 8/10.

Solution:
87 correct questions over 100 = 87/100 = .87 = (change to percent by moving the decimal 2 places to the right) 87%
Answer:
I think the answer to the equation is 4.
Answer:
Follow the order of operations and then solve from there
x^2 is simplifed to its max
6^2 is 36
10^2 is 100
x^2+36=100
Follow it normally
x^2=64
√64 = 8
x=8
