You are painting the root of a boathouse. You are going to place the base of a ladder 12 feet from the boathouse. How long does
the ladder need to be to reach the poof of the boathouse?
1 answer:
Answer:
37 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a right triangle as it elan's against the wall of the boat house.
Thus, the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagorean theorem.
c² = a² + b²
c = length of ladder
a = 35 ft
b = 12 ft
Plug in the values
c² = 35² + 12²
c² = 1,225 + 144
c² = 1,369
c = √1,369
c = 37
Therefore, to reach the roof of the boathouse, the length of the ladder = 37 ft

For this translation, you need to replace every occurrence of "x" with "x-3", and every occurrence of "y" with "y+5".
-3x+6.3=-14.4
-6.3=-6.3
-<u>3x</u>=-<u>20.7</u>
-3 -3
x=6.9
