Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
∵ the two triangles are congruent
AB / AD = BC / DE
8/4 = 6/ DE
DE = 6 x 3 ÷ 8 = 3 cm
It will take her 8 weeks to save up enough money for the bike.
To get the answer first you have to subtract 125 from 245 to see how much money she still has to save then divide the answer which is 120 by 15 and you get 8. Hope this helps!!
