Answer:

24.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If h is the height of the ladder up the tree, the geometry can be modeled as a right triangle with legs h and 6, and hypotenuse 25. The Pythagorean theorem gives you the relation ...

h² +6² = 25²

h² = 625 -36 = 589

h = √589 ≈ 24.3

The ladder reaches about 24.3 feet up the tree.

Tricky but not crazy hard. You could use th x/y method where you turn it into a cross multiplication fiasco.

or you can try your guesses through what ever equals 1/2 when you add one to the denominator. the answer you are looking for is 2/3

2/3 + 1 for the numerator = 1.

2/3 + 1 for the denominator = 1/2.

Rudy has 10 white she sells 23 pink seashells and 21 Brown see cells if he divides the cells into equally between three friends

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Each friend will get 18 sea shells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rudy has white sea shells = 10

Rudy has pink sea shells = 23

Rudy has brown sea shells = 21

Number of friends = 3

Rudy divides the sea shells into equally between three friends.

We need to find how many sea shells each friend can get.

Now first we find the total number sea shells.

Total number of sea shells = white sea shells + pink sea shells + brown sea shells = 10 + 23 + 21 = 54

Now to find number of sea shell each friend can get we will divide total number of sea shell with number of friends.

number of sea shell each friend can get = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of sea shells}}{\textrm{ Number of friends}} = \frac{54}{3}=18$

Hence each friend will get 18 sea shells.
