If there are 26 students and 16 are men then that means that there are 10 women.
It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
Answer:
Area = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle formula= Base x Height divided by 2.
The base is the distance between the x-axis(-4 and 6) which is 10.
The height is the y axis distance(2 and 9) which is 7.
10 x 7 = 70
70/2 = 35
3x = x/2 ---> 6x = x --->6x - x =0 ---> 5x = 0 ---> x = 0
