Answer:
From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:
12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16
Answer:
6c - 7 = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
following the steps in the sentence.
because it is 7 less you have a subtraction problem ( -7)
because it is 6 and a number you have a multiplication problem (6c)
it equals 5 (=5)
Answer:
20x + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to use the distributive property, where we essentially take the sum of the product of the outside number with each of the inside terms.
In 7(4x - 2), 7 is the outside number and 4x and -2 are the inside numbers, so:
7(4x - 2) = 7 * 4x + 7 * (-2) = 28x - 14
In 4(2x - 8), 4 is the outside number and 2x and -8 are the inside numbers, so:
4(2x - 8) = 4 * 2x + 4 * (-8) = 8x - 32
Now, we have:
28x - 14 - (8x - 32) = 28x - 14 - 8x + 32 = 20x + 18
The answer is 20x + 18.
