Answer: 8.71\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ladder is 16 ft from bottom and 12 away from the base of the wall

In another case ladder is 18 ft above the ground and let say x ft away from the base of the wall

In both the cases the length of ladder remains the same

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can write

\Rightarrow 16^2+12^2=L^2\ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow 18^2+x^2=L^2\ldots(ii)\\\text{From (i) and (ii)}\\\Rightarrow 16^2+12^2=18^2+x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=256+144-324\\\Rightarrow x^2=76\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{76}\\\Rightarrow x=8.71\ ft

Last month Grace worked, and was paid for, a total of x hours. Some of the hours were on the day shift and the remainder of the
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Say her hourly pay was $p for the day shift and $1.2p for the night shift.

(1) x = 55. Clearly insufficient: we need to know how these 55 hours are split between the day shift hours and the night shift hour.

(2) Grace's gross pay for the hours she worked on day shift last month was exactly 50% of her total gross pay for last month. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) Say Grace worked h hours on the day shift and 55-h hours on the night shift. Thus, her pay for the the hours she worked on day shift is $ph and the total gross pay is $ph+(55-h)*1.2p. From (2) we have that ph=0.5(ph+(55-h)*1.2p) --> reduce by p: h=0.5(h+(55-h)*1.2). We have 1 variable, so we can solve for it. Sufficient.

Answer: C.
