Perimeter of any figure is all its sides summed up
for a rectangle, with two equal pairs, that means, length + length + width + width or 2length + 2width, or 2(length + width)
but we know the length is 7/5 the width
width = w
perimeter = P
and the length is 7/5 of that
When two lines cross, there are four angles at the place where they cross.
Two angles that do NOT share a side are vertical angles. There are two pairs
of vertical angles where the lines cross.
Also, by the way, vertical angles are always equal to each other. It's often
very helpful to know that.
Answer:
the last bullet point I guess is the answer
Use Pythagorean Theorem of a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle set up by the house height and the ground, and c is the hypotenuse or how long the ladder is. C is going to be our unknown.
Just plugging in you get 25^2 + 35^2 = c^2. Simplify to 625 + 1225 = c^2. Simplify again to 1850 = c^2. The square root both sides to isolate the variable c. C = sqrt(1850) or approximately 43.0116 feet if rounded to 4 decimal places.
The ladder is approximately 43.0116 feet long.
