Visualize the image in your mind and you can see that it forms a right angled triangle with a base,altitude and hypotenuse
base=2 feet
hypotenuse(ladder)=13 ft
We need to find the altitude,
By applying pythagoras theorem,
base square+altitude square=hypotenuse square
Take altitude as x
2 square+x square=13 square
4+x square=169
x square=169-4
x square=165
x= root of 165
x=12.8 feet(approx.)
Should be B the total numbers of boxes filled with reams
Answer: B. 12 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 4:3 we can multiply both sides by 4 to get 16 boys and the equivalent number of girls for this problem, 16:12
