Answer:

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right-angled triangle where

The height of tower id perpendicular, the distance between slash pool and base of tower is base and the length of slide will be hypotenuse.

Height of tower = h = 16 meters

Distance between slash pool and base of tower = b = 9 meters

Length of slide = s = ?

As it is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of slide

Pythagoras theorem states that:

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2\\s^2 = b^2+h^2\\s^2 = (9)^2+(16)^2\\s^2 = 81+256\\s^2 = 337\\s^2 = 18.36\ meters

Hence,

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The system of equations is

 and  

Fred's age is 36 years old and Nathan's age is 9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f -----> Fred's age

n ----> Nathan's age

we know that

-----> equation A

----> equation B

equate the equations and solve for n

Find the value of f

therefore

Fred's age is 36 years old and Nathan's age is 9 years old

8 foot path

1st step = 8/2 = 4ft
2nd step = 4/2 = 2ft
3rd step = 2/2 = 1ft
