Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem

h^2=x^2+y^2

Which means that the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle) squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides. In this case we are given the side lengths of 8 and 15 feet.

h^2=8^2+15^2

h^2=64+225

h^2=289

h=17 ft

The ladder is 17 feet long.

<h3>Total snow fall for three days is 8.75 inches</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Snow fell over the past three days

$First\ day = 3\frac{2}{4}\ inches = \frac{14}{4}\ inches\\\\Second\ day = 3\frac{2}{4}\ inches = \frac{14}{4}\ inches\\\\Third\ day = 1\frac{3}{4}\ inches = \frac{7}{4}\ inches$

<em><u>What was the total snowfall for the three days?</u></em>

Total snowfall = first day + second day + third day

$Total\ snowfall = \frac{14}{4} + \frac{14}{4} + \frac{7}{4}\\\\Total\ snowfall = \frac{14 + 14 + 7}{4}\\\\Total\ snowfall = \frac{35}{4} \text{ or } 8.75\ inches$
