So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
It would first be 0.7 and then 1.1
2/5ths divides by 3 and 1/10 is 0.129
Answer:
2 Answer solutions if you do it two ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the equation is A= 1/2 times base times height, I did the base as 8 and the height as 5.
