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

marysya [2.9K]
In this question, the first information that we get is that Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance in clothes. On cleaning the oven Kayla gets $4. Finally Kayla is left with $12.
Let us assume that the weekly allowance of Kayla = x
Amount of allowance saved after buying clothes = x/2
 Then we can go for the equation
x/2 + 4 = 12
x + (4 * 2) = 12 * 2
x + 8 = 24
x = 24 -8
   = 16
So we can now see that the weekly allowance of Kayla is $16

Solve the equation 2<br> 16x + 20 = 0 to the nearest tenth.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

x ≈ - 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 20 = 0

16x + 20 - 20 = 0 - 20

16x = - 20

16x ÷ 16 = - 20 ÷ 16

x = - 1.25

x=-1\frac{1}{4}

- 1.25 rounds to - 1.3
