It would be D:7
It needs to have one side bigger than
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
17
it's 17+(-7)=10
i hope that answers your problem
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Draw a line down the middle of the equal sign .
2.Divide 4x/4. Which equals x.
3. Divide 6/4. Which equals 1 and 2/4 or 1 and 1/2.
4. X=1 2/4
5. Check=
Y=4x+6
Plug 4 with 1 2/4. Which equals 6.
6+6=12
X=1 2/4 Y=12
