The barn, the ground, and the ladder form a right triangle. If we represent the height on the barn by y, then the Pythagorean theorem tells us
... hypotenuse² = (side1)² + (side2)²
... (12 ft)² = (3 ft)² + y² . . . . . . . . . . . . fill in given information
... 144 ft² - 9 ft² = y² = 135 ft² . . . . . .subtract (3 ft)²
... y = 3√15 ft ≈ 11.6 ft . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The ladder reaches 11.6 feet high on the barn.
Answer: 26
Step-by-step explanation:
First Data: (4 - 7)^2
Second data: (6 - 7)^2
Third Data: (11 - 7)^2
So the SST is (4 - 7)^2 + (6- 7)^2 + (11 - 7)^2 = 9 + 1 + 16 = 26
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The exact answer in terms of radicals is ![x = 5*\sqrt[3]{25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%205%2A%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B25%7D)
The approximate answer is 
(accurate to 5 decimal places)
===============================================
Work Shown:
Let ![y = \sqrt[5]{x^3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7Bx%5E3%7D)
So the equation reduces to -7 = 8-3y
Let's solve for y
-7 = 8-3y
8-3y = -7
-3y = -7-8 ... subtract 8 from both sides
-3y = -15
y = -15/(-3) ... divide both sides by -3
y = 5
-----------
Since and y = 5, this means we can equate the two expressions and solve for x
![\sqrt[5]{x^3} = 5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7Bx%5E3%7D%20%3D%205)
Raise both sides to the 5th power
![x = \sqrt[3]{3125}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B3125%7D)
Apply cube root to both sides
![x = \sqrt[3]{125*25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B125%2A25%7D)
![x = \sqrt[3]{125}*\sqrt[3]{25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B125%7D%2A%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B25%7D)
![x = \sqrt[3]{5^3}*\sqrt[3]{25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B5%5E3%7D%2A%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B25%7D)
