Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
I think the answer is x>-3
Answer:
If a = 5 and b = 3, then that means 2a - 3b + 3a = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
2a - 3b + 3a
(2×5) - (3×3) + (3×5)
10 - 9 + 15 = 16
