Answer: 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2
6^2 + x^2 = 10^2
36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36
x^2 = 64. square root of both sides
x = 8
Answer:
<em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
If line AC and BD intersects, then m<AED + m<DEC = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees)
Given
m<AED = 16x+8
m<DEC = 76 degrees
16x + 8 + 76 = 180
16x + 84 = 180
16x = 180-84
16x = 96
x = 96/16
x = 6
Hence the value of x is 6
Hence the correct option is <em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>
