Answer: 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This represents a right angled triangle with the length of the slide being the hypotenuse, the height of the ladder being the height of the triangle and the distance from the base of the ladder being the length.

Solve with Pythagoras rule:

c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a= length

b = height

29² = 21² + b²

841 = 441 + b²

b² = 841 - 441

b² = 400

b = √400

b = 20 feet

1.theoretical is not counting the results of the experimentssince there are an equal number of red and black and red, the probblity (theoretical) of picking a black one is 1/3
experimental=number of outcomes happened/total number of tests4 times black, 4 tests, so 4/4 or 100%=experimental proablity

2. experimental considered previous trials and theoretical did not

3. theoretical=(1/4) the trials don't influence each other so1/(4*4)=1/16

Solve: The diagonals of a parallelogram are as follows:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 3, y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that O is the point of intersection of the diagonals. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other so here we have AO = OC and DO = OB.

Therefore 5y + 1 = 6y - 1

1 + 1 = 5y - 5y

2 = y.

2(x + 1) = 3x - 1

2x + 2 = 3x - 1

2 + 1 = 3x - 2x

3 = x.
