Answer:

The answer is 15 units hope that helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply pythagorean formulae here

Take the 17 as hypotenuse... And 8 as the base....

So the pythagorean formulae is

( hypotenuse) Square = (height) Square + (base) Square......

Hence put the values and the height comes as 15 units

BTW are u Indian?...

Answer:

Since the base(The ground) is perpendicular to the wall it forms a right angle and since the ladder is placed over the window it orms a triangle/Right angle triangle

By using the right hypotenuse side theoram-

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this condition the hypotenuse (17) and the base (8) is given

8^2 + b^2 =17^2

64 + b^2 = 289

b^2 =289 - 64

b^2=225

b=√225

b=15

Thus the height from the ground to the window is 15

Hope it helps

Determine whether the dilation from Figure A to Figure B is a reduction or an enlargement
katrin [286]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since figure B is smaller than Figure A then Figure B is a reduction.

To find the scale factor, calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original.

Using the base lines of both triangles, then

scale factor k = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

Let x represent an unknown number. Write an equation that represents the given statement. Then find the value of the unknown num
LenaWriter [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

If something is 11 less, we are subtracting 11.

-11

We have 11 less than seven times a number x.

7x-11

The word is means equals.

7x-11=-4

Now we need to isolate the x. We add 11 to both sides.

7x=7

We divide both sides by 7.

x=1.

Have a wonderful day! :D

An angle measures 73.6° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Smaller angle = 53.2

Larger angle = 126.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say x is the measure of the supplement. Since we know they're supplementary, we know their angle measure sum will equal 180. We can set up our equation like this x + (x-73.6) = 180. Note: (x - 73.6) is the measure of the smaller angle. By solving, we get 126.8 degrees for the measure of the supplement. If we plug in the value of x into (x-73.6), we get 53.2 degrees as the angle measure of the smaller angle.

soldier1979 [14.2K]
He makes it up by 1/3=.333%=$75*1.333=$99.98
he then discounts it by 20%=1/5=99.98/5=$19.99
If the original profit is $99.98-$75=$24.98
and then discounted by $19.99
it would be $24.98-$19.99
=
$4.99
