et up to the window that is 10 feet high. If Alex leans a 10-foot ladder against the side of the house so that the bottom of the ladder rests 6 feet from the base of the building, how high up the house does the ladder reach? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

<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.

If m angle abf=7b-24 and m angle abe=2b find m angle ebf
cricket20 [7]

angle ABE is equivalent to the whole angle, and it measures 2b. <span>
while the angle ABF is only a portion of angle ABE, and it measure 7b - 24. 

<span>since we know the measure of the whole angle and a part of the angle, we can then subtract to find the left over angle (angle EBF), so

Angle EBF = Angle ABE - Angle ABF </span></span>

Angle EBF = 2b – (7b – 24)

<span>Angle EBF = 24 – 5b</span>

Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center that passes through the given point
Kitty [74]
Circle equation
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Since radius isn't given use the center and point, with the distance formula, to find the radius.
D=sqrt((x2-x2)^2+)y2-y1)^2)
D=sqrt((1-0)^2+(2-6)^2
D=sqrt(1+16)
D=sqrt 17
radius = sqrt 17
(h, k) is the center and r is the radius
(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 17
