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!

Roman solved the equation 5a+2b=10 for a. His steps are shown below. 1. Subtract 2b: 5a+2b-2b=10-2b 2. Multiply by 5: 5a+10-2b W
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

In step 2, he needed to divide both sides of the equation by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5a+2b=10

Solve for a------> That means isolate the variable "a"

step 1

Subtract 2b to both sides

5a+2b-2b=10-2b

5a=10-2b

step 2

Divide by 5 both sides

5a/5=(10-2b)/5

a=(10-2b)/5

True or false? A figure that has opposite sides with equal lengths and equal slopes and diagonals with slopes that are negative
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals are at right angles ( because of the negative reciprocal slopes)

so it could be a square or a rhombus.
