Answer:hello
Step-by-step explanation:
You just cross multiply and then simplify
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right-angled triangle equals to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, which equals to the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the tree + the distance we want to find (x):
5² + x² = 13²
25 + x² = 169
x² = 144
x = √144 = 12.
The distance between the ground and the top of the ladder is 12 ft.
Answer:
The area of square in terms of x = 16x² -24x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
It is stated in the question that the length of a square = 4x - 3
Formula to find the area of the square is
Area = length²
Area = ( 4x - 3 )²
by using ( a - b )² = a² + b² - 2ab
here a = 4x and b = -3
So,
(4x)² + (-3)² - 2(4x)(3)
16x² + 9 - 2(12x)
16x² + 9 - 24x
16x² -24x + 9
The area of square in terms of x = 16x² -24x + 9
How could it be a fraction? All the numbers are whole & no division? May I assume the #s listed next to each other are multiplied, i.e. 7 2? If so,...
multiply first...
14 * 15 + 10*3 + 1755 (9*13*15)
210 + 30 + 1755
1,995
