Answer:

1ft x 36ft

2ft x 18ft

3ft x 12ft

4ft x 9ft

6ft x 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

If area is 18ft², then the dimensions of base x height = 18 x 2 = 36

all the possible positive integers that could represent its base and height can be determined be known by determining the factors of 36

factors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36

Possible dimensions of base and heights are :

1ft x 36ft

2ft x 18ft

3ft x 12ft

4ft x 9ft

6ft x 6ft

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the

GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

$H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5$

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall
