Use the Pythagorean theorem:

Height is 14, base is 3, so we can calculate the length required.

Length = sqrt(14^2 + 3^2)

Length = sqrt( 196 + 9)

Length = sqrt(205)

Length = 14.32 feet.

The ladder needs to be 14.32 feet. The longest her ladder can be is 14 feet so her ladder won’t work.

The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25%. Find the measurement of the angle and its
tester [92]
Let the angles be A and C 

<span>Complimentary angles, therefor </span>
<span>A + C = 90 </span>

<span>The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25% (you used a % sign so I'll use % instead of degrees) </span>
<span>C = 1.25A </span>

<span>Substitute </span>
<span>A + 1.25A = 90 </span>
<span>2.25A = 90 </span>
<span>A = 40º <----- </span>
<span>C = 50º <----- </span>
<span>------------------------------ </span>

<span>If you meant 25º </span>
<span>A + (A + 25) = 90 </span>
<span>2A + 25 = 90 </span>
<span>2A = 65 </span>
<span>A = 32.5º </span>
<span>C = 57.5º</span>

If the 6th term of an arithmetic progres- sion is 11 and the first term is 1, find the common difference.​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic progression with first term a and common difference d has the following first 6 terms:

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, a + 5d

We are given a = 1 and a + 5d = 11.

1 + 5d = 11

5d = 10

d = 2

Answer: The common difference is 2.
