Answer: right
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of ladder = 6 meters
Distance of ladder from base = 1.5 meters
Find:
Height of building from base to ladder
Computation:
Perpendicular = √Hypotenuse² - Base²
Height of building from base to ladder = √Length of ladder² - Distance of ladder from base²
Height of building from base to ladder = √6² - 1.5²
Height of building from base to ladder = √36 - 2.25
Height of building from base to ladder = √33.75
Height of building from base to ladder = 5.8 meter (Approx.)
The ratio for the problem above is one to four. A ratio is a relationship between number which describes how many times the second number contains the first number. The problem above gave two metric unit of length which are the centimeter and meter and the ratio between those two is one to a hundred. Therefore, we have a comparison between two amounts which are 75 and 300 and we can conclude a ratio of one to four.
Solving
S = 3F - 24
for F gives
S + 24 = 3F
(S + 24)/3 = F
The best choice is the last one:
F = (S + 24)/3
