Andrew can reach a maximum of
high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the
ratio. that is

where
is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for
, we get

Since Andrew can reach an extra
above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

Answer:
Rectangle ABCDABCDA, B, C, D is graphed in the coordinate plane. vertices of the rectangle: A(-1, -6),A(−1,−6),A, left parenthesis, minus, 1, comma, minus, 24+2 ps y+4 sr y+5 qR 2x + 3 pq 2y+2.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to check if your answer is correct, expanding it all out will help!
(x-6)(x+2)=0 <-- Use FOIL tactic
x²+2x-6x-12=0
x²-4x-12=0
As you can see, this is identical to the initial equation given. The x values would be 6 and -2, as seen from the factored equation.
Hope I helped :)
