Is there an equation for this?
Answer:
12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
As a ladder is leaning against a house, it forms right angle triangle. And for right angleΔ, we use Pythagoras theorem.i.e
P²+B²= H²
Where,
'P' is perpendicular i.e the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground
'B' is base i.e be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house
'H' is hypotenuse i.e 13
considering 'x' as perpendicular
So, base would be 'x-7'
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
x² + (x-7)²= 13²
x² +x² -14x +49 =169
2x² -14x -120= 0
x² -7x -60=0 ----> solving the quadratic equation
x² + 5x -12x-60=0
x(x+5) -12(x+5)=0
Either : x+5=0 => x=-5
OR: x-12=0 => x=12
We'll choose the positive length.
therefore , The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house is 12 feet
I think “c” is the correct answer. I am not sure
Answer:
x = 44
right
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles in a triangle add to 180
90+ 46+x = 180
Combine like terms
136+x = 180
Subtract 136 from each side
136+x-136=180-136
x =44
Since we have a 90 degree angle it is a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to add all the checks and money he has.
295.50
10.00
6.25
+________
3 6 1 . 7 5
Total- $361.75
Now, we have to subtract 5 from this.
361.75
5.00
-______
3 5 6 . 7 5
The total deposit is $356.75
