Answer:

23.24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c², where a and b are legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

In this situation, the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the distance from the base of the building is the long leg.

Plug in the ladder length as c and plug in the distance from the base of the building as a:

a² + b² = c²

(6²) + b² = (24)²

36 + b² = 576

b² = 540

b = 23.24

So, the ladder reaches approximately 23.24 feet up the wall

Find the estimates of x^2-x-2=3
Julli [10]

Answer:

x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadratic equation is

x^2-x-2=3\\x^2-x-5=0

Roots of the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 are

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\

So, for the given equation roots are

x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-5)}}{2\cdot 1}\\x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}\\so, x=\frac{1+\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx 2.79\\or\ x=\frac{1-\sqrt{21}}{2}\approx -1.79
