At a water park there is a slide that you really want to ride. In order to get to the top of the 29 foot slide you must first cl

imb a ladder. When you finish the ride you end up 21 feet from the base of the ladder. How tall is the ladder you must climb in order to get to the top

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

Use x to find their age
liraira [26]
Let the age of the son be x, then the age of the father = 6x
x + 6x = 42
7x = 42
x = 42/7 = 6
Therefore the age of the son is 6 while the age of the father is 6(6) = 36.

The equation representa Function A and the graph represents Function B
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

D) Slope of Funcation B = - Slope of Function A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

In this question, we are only interested in the slope.

For function A, we can see that the equation is f(x) = -2x + 1

Going back to the equation, we can see that -2 is the slope

Now for function B, we need to find the slope by looking at the graph.

To do this, you need to remember that the slope is y/x, or rise over run. (This is saying that every time the y happens, the x also happens. For example, if the slope is 1/2, every time the line goes up 1 unit, it goes to the right 2 units)

So for the function, we can see that when you move to the right 1 unit (run), you also move up 2 units (rise), so the slope would be

2

Comparing the slope of both the functions

Function A is -2

and

Function B is 2

So the answer is D
