Answer:

18.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

-use the formula C^2 = A^2 + B^2 for a right triangle, which is made by the ladder and the wall.

-let the ladder be C, the wall be a, the base to the bottom be b.

-substitude into the equation, which will leave us with:

C^2 = 17^2 + 7^2

C^2 = 289 + 49

C^2 = 338

C = square root of 338, which is 18.4 feet!

if you save three pennies on January 1, six pennies on January 2, nine pennies on January 3, and continue this pattern for one y
Katarina [22]

Answer:

2003.85

Step-by-step explanation:

I realize I'm a year late, but the math of the previous answer was so terrible I'm honestly too horrified to let this be.

You have save by an increasing amount of 3 pennies per day. You start with 3 and build from that, each day, for 365 days. First, you must figure out what amount of pennies you shoved into your account on the final 365th day.

An= a1+(n-1)d

An=term you want

a1= term you begin with

n= term you want

d= constant amount

A_365= 3 + (365-1)*3

A_365= 1095

Arithmetic Sum: Sn = N/2 (a1 + an)

365/2 * (3 + 1095) = 200385.

This means you've invested a total of 200385 PENNIES after 365 days.

The question asks for dollars, not your rusting lincoln's.

As (I hope) you know, 1 Dollar = 100 pennies

200385 pennies/100 = 2003.85.

This means you have $2003.85 in your account by the conclusion of the 365th day.

WHAT IS THE RECIPROCAL OF 5/8 WHOLE NUMBER OR FRACTION?
Alexxandr [17]
A reciprocal is just when you flip over the numerator and the denominator.
So, if you have 5/8, then its opposite, or reciprocal will be 8/5. It is also a fraction, as is 5/8.
You can write it as a mixed number, as the person above me mentioned, as 1 3/5.
