<h3>Answer: 8 feet</h3>

Explanation:

It might help to draw out what's going on. You should draw out a right triangle. We know a = 6 is one of the legs while b is the unknown leg. The hypotenuse is c = 10. Use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

36 + b^2 = 100

b^2 = 100-36

b^2 = 64

b = sqrt(64)

b = 8

The top of the ladder can reach 8 feet off the ground.

Steve can run 3.5 miles in 30 minutes. If Steve increases his rate by 1/2 mile per hour, how far will he run in 2 hours?
Sati [7]

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve runs 3.5 miles in 30 minutes (0.5 hours).  So his speed is:

r = 3.5 mi / 0.5 h

r = 7 mi/h

If his rate increases to 7.5 mi/h, the distance he runs in 2 hours is:

d = 7.5 mi/h × 2 h

d = 15 mi

When a book of 100 pages is opened, the sum of the facing page numbers can be divided by 5, the quotient is a product of 3 and 7
statuscvo [17]
Sum means the result of addition.
Quotient means the result of division.
Product means the result of multiplication.

The product of 3 and 7 is 21, because:
3 × 7 = 21

Therefore, the quotient is 21.

Let the sum of the facing page numbers = x:
Therefore, x/5 = 21
Rearranging the equation to find x (the sum of the facing page numbers) gives us:
x = 21 × 5
= 105
So the sum of the facing page numbers is 105.

The only two adjacent numbers which add up to 105 are 52 and 53, so the facing page numbers must be 52 and 53.
