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

PLEASE HELP!<br>Calculate $40^{13} \pmod{85}.$
SVEN [57.7K]
In this type of calculations, we decompose 13 by checking the lowest powers of the base, that is 40. for example we check 40^2, or 40^3 and compare it to 85

Notice

40*40*40=64,000

so we check how many time does 85 fit into 64,000:

64,000/85=752.94

85*753=64,005;       64000-64,005=-5

this means that 

40^{3} =-5\pmod{85}

thus

40^{13} =40^{3*4+1}={(40^{3})}^{4}*40=(-5)^{4}*40 \pmod{85}=\\\\625*40\pmod{85}=(7*85+30)*40\pmod{85}=30*40\pmod{85}\\\\=1200\pmod{85}=(14*85+10)\pmod{85}=10\pmod{85}


Answer: 10 (mod85)

Remark, the set of all solutions is:

{......-75, 10, 95, .....}, that is 85k +10

Answer:

\sf 500,000,000,000=5 \times 10^{11}

\sf 0.00000000005=5 \times 10^{-11}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scientific notation</u>

\large\boxed{a \times 10^n}  

where:

  • 1\leq a < 10
  • n is any positive or negative <u>whole number</u>.

To convert a number into scientific notation, <u>move</u> the decimal point to the <u>left or right</u> until there is <u>one digit</u> to the left of the decimal point.

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is n.

  • If the decimal point has moved to the <u>left</u>, n is positive.
  • If the decimal point has moved to the <u>right</u>, n is negative.

To convert 500,000,000,000 into scientific notation, move the decimal point <u>11 places to left</u>, so a = 5.  As we have moved the decimal point 11 places to the left, the exponent "n" is 11 and is <u>positive</u>.

\implies \sf 500,000,000,000=5 \times 10^{11}

To convert 0.00000000005 into scientific notation, move the decimal point <u>11 places to the right</u>, so a = 5.  As we have moved the decimal point 11 places to the right , the exponent "n" is 11 and is <u>negative</u>.

\implies \sf 0.00000000005=5 \times 10^{-11}

In a list of 100 numbers , the fraction of numbers greater than 15 is (19/25) and the fraction of numbers less than 15 is (7/50)
Bingel [31]
19/25 * 100 = 1900/25 = 76 ....numbers greater then 15
7/50 * 100 = 700/50 = 14....numbers less then 15

100 - (76 + 14) = 100 - 90 = 10 <== numbers equal to 15
