Use the pythagorean theorem.

The foot of the ladder is 4 feet away from the building (leg 1)

The height of the building is leg 2

The ladder, which would be at an angle, is 12 feet. So our hypotenuse would be 12. The equation for this would be a²+4²=12²

We can then begin to solve

a² + 16 = 144  

a² = 128

a=11.31

So, our answer is: The top of the ladder reaches the building at 11.31 feet up

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Option A) The temperature of F degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to convert temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is:

C(F)=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)

If we have the measure of temperature in degrees Fahrenheit we can convert that temperature to degrees Celsius by substituting it in place of F. For example, if we want to convert 50 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius just  replace F in the above formula by 50 and C(F) will give the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius.

So, C(F) represents the temperature of F degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius. Option A gives the correct answer.

Fed [463]
Assuming it's a constant rate, there is a four hour difference from t=1 and t=5, so subtract the difference in depth (0.03 - 0.06) and divide that by four.

-0.03/4 = -0.0075
So your change in depth in feet per hour is -0.0075\frac{ft}{hr}.

A carpenter has a board 18 1/2 feet long. He needs to cut as many 1 3/4 feet long pieces as possible. How many pieces can the ca
Andreas93 [3]

So you know that the carpenter has a board that is 18.5ft long and he wants to cut 1.75ft pieces.

Assume that <em>x</em> is the amount of boards he cuts,

1.75<em>x</em> = 18.5

Isolate <em>x</em> by dividing each side by 1.75.

<em>x </em>= 18.5/1.75 = 10.57 pieces.
