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}

Question 1 of 3 NE A scale drawing of a fishing boat has a scale of 1 cmn to 2 meters. If the length of the fishing boat is 6 cm
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Scale= 1cm:2m

Required

Determine the measurement when the scale reads 6cm

Represent this scale with x;

Such that:

Scale = 6cm:x

Equate

Scale= 1cm:2m and Scale = 6cm:x

1cm:2m = 6cm:x

Express as fraction

\frac{1cm}{2m} = \frac{6cm}{x}

Cross Multiply

x * 1cm = 6cm * 2m

x * 1 = 6 * 2m

x = 6 * 2m

x = 12m
