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

In 2001 , chipper had 102 runs batted in. In 2008, Chipper had only 75 runs batted in. Calculate the percent change in runs batt
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The percent change in runs batted in from 2001 to 2008 is 26.47%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of runs chipper batted in the year 2001  = 102 runs

The number of runs chipper batted in the year 2008  = 75 runs

Here, so the Change in the runs batted

= Runs Batted in year 2001 - Runs batted in the year 2008

= 102 runs - 75 runs  =  27 runs

Now, The percentage change in the run = = \frac{\textrm{Change in the batted run from 2001 to 2008}}{\textrm{Total number of batted runs in 2001}}  \times 100

= \frac{27}{102}  \times 100 = 26.47

or, The percentage change = 26.47%

Hence, the percent change in runs batted in from 2001 to 2008 is 26.47%

Please solve completely I really need this answered
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Ted is correct. Maggie made mistakes while trying to isolate x for both equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For 3x-2=0, in order to move -2 to the left side, Maggie had to add 2 on both sides because -2+2=0. The same problem is seen for x+5=0. Maggie had to subtract 5 on both sides because +5-5=0
