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

Evaluate the function fx = 4 * 7^t for x= -1 and x=2
Alex73 [517]
Well what i think you're asking here...I apologie if I'm wrong but what I did was 

f(-1) = 4 * 7^t = 4/7 

and 

f(2) = 4 * 7^t = 196.

Is this what you wanted if not I can...try another way.

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion. If x = 4, then 5x = 20 the addition property of equality the m
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Addition Property of Equality:</u> When you add something to one side of the equation, you must add the same thing to the other side.

<u>The Subtraction Property of Equality:</u> When you subtract something from one side of the equation, you must subtract the same thing from the other side.

<u>The Multiplication Property of Equality:</u> When you multiply something to one side of the equation, you must multiply the same thing to the other side.

<u>The Division Property of Equality:</u> When you divide something from one side of the equation, you must divide the same thing from the other side.

In this case, you have to divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x = 4. That means that the division property of equality was used.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

A line segment has endpoints P(-1,5)and Q(5,2) find the coordinate of that trisect the segment​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from P to Q, we see that x increases by 6  and y increases by 3.

"Trisect" means "divide into three equal subintervals."

We find (1/3) of 6 (which comes out to 2) and (1/3) of 3 (which comes out to 1).  

Thus, the first junction (between 1st and 2nd trisection) is (-1 + 2, 5 + 1), or (1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)
