Answer:

24.33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The flower bed, the ladder and the house form a right angled triangle where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side.

Let L = length of ladder, H = height of house = 24 feet and l = length of flower bed = 4 feet.

Using Pythagoras' theorem,

L² = H² + l²

So, L = √(H² + l²)

substituting the values of the variables, we have

L = √[(24 ft)² + (4 ft)²]

L = √[576 ft² + 16 ft²]

L = √[592 ft²]

L = 24.33 ft

The ladder must be at least 24.33 feet long to reach the top and be out of the flower bed

Use the following statements to find a compound statement for (p∨q)∧rp∨q)∧r p: 5<-3 q: All vertical angles are congruent. r:
guajiro [1.7K]
Given the compound statement <span>(p∨q)∧r
where: p: 5 < -3
q : All vertical angles are congruent.
r: 4x = 36, then x = 9.

Recall the in logic, '</span>∨' symbolises "or" while '∧' symbolises "and".

Therefore, the compound statement <span>(p∨q)∧r can be written as follows:
Either 5 < -3 or all vertical angles are congruent, and if 4x = 36, then x = 9.

Which equation is modeled by the graph? Using the equation, about how many more cars are in the deck at 9:00 a.m. than at 8:30 a
omeli [17]
The correct answer is Choice A.

You can see from the graph that the y-intercept is 50 because it cross on the left at 50.

To find the slope, we can use the following two points (0, 50) and (20, 110). This will give a slope of 3.

Put the 50 and 3 together and you will have the equation:
y = 3x + 50

My product is 30. The differencd of the two factors is 1. The zum of the two factors is 11. What numbers am i
timurjin [86]
A * b = 30
a - b = 1
a + b = 11

take ur last 2 equations, and add them
a - b = 1
a + b = 11
--------------add
2a = 12
a = 12/2
a = 6

now its just a matter of subbing
a + b = 11
6 + b = 11
b = 11 - 6
b = 5

so a = 6 and b = 5...whose product is 30, whose difference is 1, and whose sum is 11.
