Answer:

12.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder placed against the wall forms a right angle triangle

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

Hypotenuse = 13 feet

Opposite = 4 feet

Adjacent = x

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

13² = 4² + x²

169 = 16 + x²

169 - 16 = x²

153 = x²

Find the square root of both sides

√153 = √x²

12.369316876852 = x

x = 12.4 feet

Adjacent = x = 12.4 feet

Amir has spent the last three months saving money for a $1,400 computer in his local electronics store. So far he has saved $1,2

Fiesta28 [93]

25% off of $1400 equal: 1400 + .25 = 350, so 1400 - 350 = 1050
So now the computer with 25 % off is $1050.
tax 7%, means 1050 + .07 = $73.50 (sales tax charge)

Total computer with 25% off plus 7% tax equal:

$1050 + 73.50 = $1,123.50

Amir has saved $1200, so he has enough money to purchase the computer.
