Answer:

8\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem (Assuming the house's walls are perpindicular to the ground):

a^2+b^2=c^2

we can find that 3=a and 29=c

3^2+b^2=29^2

9+b^2=841

b^2=832

b=\sqrt{832}

b=\sqrt{64*13}

b=8\sqrt{13}

That is the height that the ladder will reach

two sides of a triangle measures 25 cm + 35 CM which of the following would be the measure of the third side
Oxana [17]
Assuming those are the legs of the triangle and that you need to find the hypotenuse... I would use the formula: a^2+b^2=c^2
It doesn't matter what a and b are, just fill it in.
25^2+35^2=c^2
625+1225=c^2
1850=c^2
Take the square root of 1850, it isn't a perfect square so I got: 43.01.
If you want, just round it to 43, idc. 
So, if I were to check my work, I would need to remember that the hypotenuse is the longest side.
Since 43 is the hypotenuse, it is the longest side.

Includes critical information you need to identify the chemical , Includes warnings about the chemical , Legible are the requirements for chemical labels

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Labels need to produce guidance on how to manage the chemical so that chemical users are notified about how to guard themselves.  That data about chemical hazards be dispatched on labels using quick visual notations (Legible)  to inform the user, granting instant identification of the hazards.

Labels, as described in the HCS, are a relevant group of written, printed or graphic information elements concerning a hazardous chemical that are attached to, printed on, or added to the immediate container of a hazardous chemical, or to the outside packaging.

Multply both sides of the equation by 7.

\dfrac{x}{7}\cdot 7=\dfrac{4}{5}\cdot 7\\\\x=\dfrac{28}{5}=5.6

_____

When the variable is in the numerator of a proportion like this, you can solve it by multiplying by that denominator. That multiplication cancels the denominator and gives you the value of the variable.

In general, you multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. When that coefficient is 1/7, you multiply by 7/1. Of course, you know that 7/7 = 1 and that x/1 = x.
