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

In 2007, there were 31 laptops
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

l=31+20(y-2007)

where l is the number of laptops, and y is the year.

in 2017: l=231

Step-by-step explanation:

I will define the variable x as the number of years that passed since 2007.

Since the school buys 20 lapts each year, after a number x of years, the school will have

20*x more laptops.

and thus, since the school starts with 31 laptops, the equation to model this situation is

l=31+20*x

where l is the number of laptops.

since x is the number of years that have passed since 2007, it can be represented like this:

x=y-2007

where y can be any year, so the equation to model the situation using the year:

l=31+20(y-2007)

and this way we can find the number of laptos at the end of 2017:

y=2017

and

l=31+20(y-2007)

l=31+20(2017-2007)\\l=31+20(10)\\l=31+200\\l=231
