A 25 ft. ladder resting against the side of a building forms a right triangle with the ground. The bottom of the ladder is 7 ft.
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The correct answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this you will need to use the pathagreom theorum

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

A= one side lenth

B= the secons side lenth

C= hypotnuse

It is helpfull to draw out the situation

you know that the latter is 25 ft, that is your hypotnuse

you also know that the 7 ft away from the base of the building is one of the side lenths, lets call it side a

so plug the numbers into the equation

7^2 + b^2 = 25 ^2

you leave b^2 alone because that is the side you are trying to find

now square 7 and 25 but leave b^2 alone

49 + b^2 = 625

now subtract 49 from both sides

b^2 = 576

now to get rid of the square of b you have to do the opposite and square root both sides removing the square of the B and giving you the answer of..........

B= 24

Hope this helped!! I tryed to explain it as simpil as possiable

Solve the linear equation. 14x − 1/2 (4x+6) = 3 (x−4) − 18
LekaFEV [45]

14x - (2x + 3) = 3x - 12 - 18 \\ 14x - 2x - 3 = 3x - 30 \\ 12x - 3 = 3x - 30  \\ 9x = - 27 \\ x =  - 3

A rectangular deck has an area of 320ft^2. the length of the deck is 4 feet longer than the width. find the dimensions of the de
Digiron [165]
A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4

320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18

W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative

L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length

in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft
