Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the ladder will make a right angle triangle with the house. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the ladder, 20 ft, and the height of the triagnle is 18 ft.

Solve for the base of the right angle triangle using pythagorean's theorem:

c=20, a=18, b=?

b^{2}=c^{2} - a^{2}\\b^{2}=20^{2} - 18^{2}

b=\sqrt{72}

b= 8.49 ft

round to the nearest foot,

b = 8 ft

A square pool has a side length of x feet.A uniform border around pool is 1 footwide.The total area of the pool and the border o
lions [1.4K]
The total area of pool and border = 361  square feet.

Length of square pool = x

Length of square pool plus border =  (x + 1 +1 ) = x + 2

There is 1 foot length on each side on the x  length.

The other length of the square pool and border =  (x + 2)

Area = (x+2)(x+2)

     (x + 2)(x +2) =  361.            Let A = x +2

        A*A = 361
            A²  = 361    Take square root of both sides
             A  = √361
               A = 19

A = x + 2 = 19
       x = 19 - 2
       x = 17

Area of square pool = x*x = 17*17 = 289

Area of the pool = 289 square feet.

How many kilometers did they drive per hour
Elza [17]
The distance from San Francisco to New York is 4140 km. Since the question asks how long it took the Humphrey family in km/hr (kilometers per hour), you would just divide 4140km by 6.
Why? Because it took them 6 hours to make a trip of 4140 km. Dividing 4140 by 6 gives you the distance they traveled per hour.

690 km/hr
