Answer:
One of them must be zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
For something to equal zero it needs to be multiplied by a value of zero.
Answer:
Option C: 41
Step-by-step explanation:
<ABD+<CBD=90
<ABD=8x+1
<CBD=6x+5
(8x+1)+(6x+5)=90
Combine like terms
(8x+6x)+(1+5)=90
14x+6=90
14x=90-6
14x=84
divide both sides by 14
x=6
Now we plug that value into <DBC = 6x+5
6(6)+5=
36+5
41
let x be how far up the wall ladder reaches
by Pythagoras theorem
x^2+5^2=13^2
x^2 =(13^2)-(5^2)
x= square root of 144
x= 12 or x =-12(rej,x>0)
hence ladder reaches 12 foot up the wall
