Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have a ladder that is 10 feet tall and you place it on the ground 6 feet away from your house, which you plan to paint. How far up will the ladder reach? (Ans: 8 feet)
2. I think drawing a diagram of this is pretty self-explanitory. Just remember to lable the ladder as 10 feet, the ground as 6 feet, and the house as 8 feet.
3. There wasn't really an equation in the question, but if you draw a triangle you'll need to solve for the third side. It would be 8 feet, but if you consider the pythagoran therom:
100ft(c^2, the hypotenuse, or the ladder)- 36 ft(a^2, or the ground)= 64, the square root of 64 would give you 8. You can write it out symbolically, but I'm typing and there's not much I can do on here.
