Answer:

3 \sqrt{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the hypotenuse which is 18 since it slanted, and leans on the house. And we are given one of the legs which is 15 since it is vertical. We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for this problem.

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  = c {}^{2}

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse l.

Let plug it in

{a}^{2}  + 15 {}^{2}  =  {18}^{2}

{a }^{2}  + 225 = 324

{a}^{2}  = 99

a =  \sqrt{99}

a =  \sqrt{9 \times 11}

a = 3 \sqrt{11}

Which equation models the problem below if c represents the number of babies whose eyes are closed? There are 12 babies in a pho
Pavel [41]

The correct answer is: 9 + c = 12

Further explanation:

Given

c = number of babies whose eyes are closed

So,

If the total number of babies are 12 then the sum of babies with eyes closed and eyes opened should be equal to 12.

As c is the number of babies with eyes closed and 9 is the number of babies with eyes opened then,

9+c = 12

The equation can be used to find the number of babies whose eyes are open

9+c-9 = 12 -9\\c = 3

Three babies have their eyes closed in the photograph.
