Mathematics
1 answer:
alexira [117]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of ladder = 6 meters

Distance of ladder from base = 1.5 meters

Find:

Height of building from base to ladder

Computation:

Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²

Height of building from base to ladder = √Length of ladder² - Distance of ladder from base²

Height of building from base to ladder = √6² - 1.5²

Height of building from base to ladder = √36 - 2.25

Height of building from base to ladder = √33.75

Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)

Need help ASAP!! Write an informal proof to show triangles ABC and DEF are similar.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Δ ABC and Δ DEF are similar because their corresponding sides are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional which means the corresponding sides have equal ratios

In the two triangles ABC and DEF

∵ AB = 4 units

∵ DE = 2 units

∴ \frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{4}{2}=2

∵ BC = 6 units

∵ EF = 3 units

∴ \frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{6}{3}=2

∵ CA = 2 units

∵ FD = 1 units

∴ \frac{CA}{FD}=\frac{2}{1}=2

∴ \frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{CA}{FD}=2

∵ All the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal

∴ The corresponding sides of the two triangles are proportional

∴ Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF

Is 15b+4=25.6 equivalent to 0.6+15b+4=25.6
pychu [463]
No because
15b + 4 = 25.6
15b = 21.6
b = 1.44

0.6+15b+4 = 25.6
4.6 + 15b = 25.6
15b = 21
b = 1.4

The answers are not the same therefore they are not equivalent.

you are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 31 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Blue Car:</em></u>  (31 1/2 miles)/(1 1/4 gallons)

(63/2) miles / (5/4) gallons

(63/2)*(4/5) = <u>25.2 miles/gallon.</u>

<u><em>Red Car:</em></u>  (27 1/5 miles)/(4/5 gallon)

= <u>34 miles/gallon.</u>

The Red Car will travel the furthest.
