The foot of a ladder is placed 6 feet from a wall if the top of the ladder rests 8 feet up on the wall how long is the ladder?

Vlada [557]

Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)

The probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

Spinner has three colors that are red, green and yellow and coin has two sides that are head or tail.

<h3>What is the formula for probability?</h3>

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes

The sample space is, ${(red - head; red - tail; green - head; green - tail; yellow - head; yellow - tail)}$ In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.
