Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
The value 170 000 is 100x larger than the value 170.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
At a restaurant, Brianna and Naomi each order an appetizer for $6.50 and an entree for $9.75.
The sales tax is $0.98 and they leave a tip of $5.85.
To Find :
How much did Brianna and Naomi spend in all.
Solution :
Total expenses, T = Food + tax + tip
T = $( 6.50+9.75) + $0.98 + $5.85
T = $( 16.25 + 0.98 + 5.85 )
T = $23.08
Therefore, total expenses is $23.08 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
