Answer:
11.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...
d² + 10² = 15²
d² = 225 -100 = 125
d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet
The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building
Answer:
$2.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Nickels are worth 5 cents each and quarters are worth 25 cents.
7 nickels = 7 * 5 cents = 35 cents
8 quarters = 8 * 25 cents = 200 cents
Total = 200 + 35 = 235 cents
There are 100 cents per dollar, so we can find the dollar value by:
235/100 = $2.35
Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2/6 - 5/6= -3/6
= -1/2
Answer:If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.
The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.
The equation you want to set up is
0.5x+7=18
Where, 18-7=11
0.5x=11
11/.5 = x
x = $22
Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.
