Answer: 11.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario depicted is that of a right angled triangle with the 7 meters being the base and the 9 meters being the height.

The length of the ladder will therefore be the Hypothenuse.

Using the Pythagorean Rule:

a² + b² = c²

with c being the hypothenuse

7² + 9² = c²

49 + 81 = c²

c²= 130

c = √130

c = 11.4 m

25.6% of what # is 21.12
laila [671]
To solve this problem, we are going to use the percent proportion, a/b = p/100, where a is the part of a number b, the whole, and p is the percentage out of 100.  
When we fill in our known integers into this equation, we get

21.12 / b = 25.6 / 100

Next, to simplify this equation, we should use cross products (means - extremes products theorem).  This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other fraction and setting them equal to one another.

21.12(100)=25.6(b)

When we multiply, you get

2112 = 25.6b

Finally, we divide both sides by 25.6, to get our variable b, alone, and without a coefficient.

82.5 = b

Therefore, 25.6% of the number 82.5 is 21.12.
