Answer: 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a diving board is 10 feet above a pool. Since the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the diving board, to calculate how tall is the ladder is, we subtract -5 from 10. This will be:
= 10 - (-5)
= 10 + 5
= 15 feet
The answer is option C.
Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:

Introducing the constant of proportionality

If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object

Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:

When d=3 Inches

The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.
