Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to approach this that makes the most sense to a student would be to find out how far from the house the ladder currently is, then add 3 feet to that and do the problem all over again. This is right triangle stuff...Pythagorean's Theorem in particular. The ladder is the hypotenuse, 52 feet long. The height of the rectangle is the distance the ladder is up the side o the house, 48 feet. We plug those into Pythagorean's Theorem and solve for the distance the ladder is from the house:

52^2=48^2+x^2 and

2704=2304+x^2 and

x^2=400 so

x = 20. Now if we add the 3 feet that the ladder was pulled away from house, the distance from the base of the ladder to the house is 23 feet, the ladder is still 52 feet long, but what's different is the height of the ladder up the side of the house, our new x:

52^2=23^2+x^2 and

2704=529+x^2 and

2175=x^2 so

x = 46.6 feet

A sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 5120\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}5120 s m ​ 5120, start fraction, start text, m, e
klio [65]

Answer:

18432 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 5120 m/s.

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minutes = 60 second

Using these conversions we get

1 m = 0.001 km

1 hour  = 3600 second

5120\text{ m/s }=5120\times 0.001\times 3600\text{ km/h}

5120\text{ m/s }=18432\text{ km/h}

Therefore, the sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 18432 km/h.

As an estimation we are told 5 miles is 8 km. <br> Convert 34.5 km to miles.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The answer is 21.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because it first says 5 miles=8 km so that helps us right there.We divide 34.5 by 8 which will give us 4.3125.Then you have to multiply that by 5 which will give us 21.5625.
