Pythagorean theorem
for a right triangle with legs legnth a and b and hytponuse c
a^2+b^2=c^2
the legnht of th eladder is the hypotnuse
the 3 feet is bottom leg
height is other leg
10=c
3=a
b=?
3^2+b^2=10^2
9+b^2=100
minus 9 both sides
b^2=91
sqrt both sides
b=√91
aprox
b=9.53939
answer is √91 feet or aprox 9.53939

Answer:
6w + 2a = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
the expression given, 6w + 2a, contains no variable h, so it's best to just ignore that h = 5.
first, plug in the values for w and a. you can do this in whatever order you want, but i'll start with w for this example.
plug in 4 for w.
6w + 2a
6(4) + 2a
now plug in 2 for a.
6(4) + 2a
6(4) + 2(2)
after plugging in the values, your expression is 6(4) + 2(2).
all that's left is to simplify. again, this can be done in whatever order you prefer, but i'm going to start with 6(4).
6(4) + 2(2)
24 + 2(2)
continue simplifying by multiplying 2(2).
24 + 2(2)
24 + 4
now add 24 + 4.
24 + 4 = 28
so, when w = 4 and a = 2, 6w + 2a = 28.
you can check the answer by plugging those values for a and w back into the completed equation.
6w + 2a = 28
6(4) + 2(2) = 28
24 + 4 = 28
28 = 28
since both sides of the equation are equal, that means that your answer of 28 is correct! :)
i hope this helps! have a great day <3
