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

Classrooms on one side of the science building are all numbered with consecutive odd integers. If the first​ room, the room with
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The sum of the first five classroom numbers in a row is 5k + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the smallest classroom​ number on the side of the building is numbered k​ and each consecutive odd integer is separated by a difference of  

2.

Therefore:  

k is the first class room.

k +  2  is the second class room.

k +  4  is the third class room.

k + 6 is the third class room.

k + 8 is the fifth class room.

The sum of the five consecutive class rooms are given as:

k + (k + 2) + (k + 4) + (k + 6) + (k + 8)

collecting alike terms we get

=  k + k + k + k + k + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8

= 5k + 20

Therefore, The sum of the first five classroom numbers in a row is 5k + 20.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1) 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 13+8=21 which is greater than 15. Would be a triangle.

2) 7+8=15   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

3) 3+8<15   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

2) 15+8=23   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

zysi [14]

Answer:

a) As sides of squares are always equal.

So,

BC=CD

2b+CF=a+b

CF= a+b-2b

CF= a-b
