We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
all you have to do is divide each number by 4, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 ,and 50 until you get a remainder of 1. what I mean is do 2 divided by all the number from 40 50 and do the same with 4,5,8 and 10 until you find one of them that has a remainder of 1. (is a lot of work sorry could't tell you the anwer)
2/3 ÷ 4
2/3 ÷ 4/1
We invert the 4/1 to 1/4 and multiply out.
2/3 × 1/4
= 1/3 × 1/2 2 into 4 is 2.
= 1/(3 × 2)
= 1/6
Hope this helps.
Slope intercept form is y = mx+ b
So in order to turn 5y-3x + 20 = 0 into Slope intercept form, all we need to do is solve for y!
Let's do it!
- add 3x to the right side of the equation
<u>5y - 3x + 20 = 0</u>
<u>5y + 20 = 3x </u>
- move 20 to the right side
<u>5y = 3x - 20 </u>
- Divide both sides of the equation by 5
y = 3/5x - 4
This is our answer!
