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

Okay, i'm pretty sure that if you make a residual plot its a plot using all those points labeled. So plot those points on a graph, if you are using a K12 diagram use the 1-10 as 100-1000 (basically add a zero to every number)

Will mark brainiest for simplest and most coherent answer. What does it mean if an x (input) or y (output) value doesn't make se
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

I tried to answer but I still would like to know what doesn't make sense.

Considering the identity:

\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1 \implies |\sec\theta|\geq1

$\forall\;\theta\in\mathbb{R}-\{(2n+1)\frac{\pi}{2}, n\in\mathbb{Z} \}$

The identity is true whenever both sides are defined. It is not supposed to hold the values when we have division by zero, because it is undefined.

If the value doesn't make sense, it is probably not a function, or it is undefined by the given value of x.

Let's go back to the definition of function again:

A function relates a set of inputs and a set of allowable outputs where each input is related to only one output. It basically defines the relation of ordered pairs.

Hope it helped you a bit.
