Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 9 ft and 12 ft long (see the picture).

To solve for the length of the ladder, use the Pythagorean Theorem.

9^{2} +12^{2} =c^{2} \\c=\sqrt{9^{2} +12^{2}} \\c=\sqrt{81+144} \\c=\sqrt{225} \\c=15

Mariana [72]

Answer:

18x^2 + 18x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the least number of terms, simplify the expression. To simplify, distribute into the parenthesis and combine like terms.

2(3x-1)(3x+4) = 2(9x^2-3x+12x-4) = 2(9x^2+9x-4) = 18x^2 + 18x -8
