So there are two triangles here: Smaller one (ADE) and bigger one (ABC) and they both are similar.
So you can use proportions here.
AB / AC = AD / AE
AB = AD + DB = 6 + 1 = 7
AC = AE + 3
AD = 6
So plug in these values:
AB / AC = AD / AE becomes
7 / (AE + 3) = 6 / AE
Now do the cross multiply:
7 AE = 6 (AE + 3)
Now solve for AE:
7AE = 6AE + 18
AE = 18
Answer:
I think it's like the top answer is 6 the bottom 36.
This question was already answered this is what the other person got.
Answer:
24.7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a Pythagorean theorem question
The ladder is the hypotenuse or c
the distance from the wall is a leg or a
and the wall is the other leg or b
a² + b² = c²
a² + 17² = 30²
a² + 289 = 900
-289 -289
b² = 611
√ √
b = √611
b = 24.7 feet
i think the answer is x ≤ -8
