By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48
The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.
Answer: 8 1/4g/cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the graph :
The rate of change in the mass of copper with respect to volume :
To obtain this, we find the slope or gradient of the graph:
Gradient = Δy / Δx = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Drawing a right angled triangle on the anybpart of the line of best fit:
y2 = 40 ; x2 = 4.75 ; y1 = 16 ; x1 = 2
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
= (40 -16) / (4.75 - 2)
= 24 / 2.75
= 2400/275
= 8.727 g/cm^3
Due to unit and graph scale,, the slope is closest to 8 1/4g/cm³
