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 :)
Answer:

2. Cheryl had $900 initially
Question The price of a sofa is Sx. A man buys the sofa on hire purchase according to the following terms:
a downpayment of 25 % and the remaining to be paid in monthly instalments over 30 months at a
simple interest rate of 12 % per annum. Given that his monthly instalment is $52, find the value of x.
Answer:
x ≈ 29.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The model is a right triangle.
Using the tangent ratio
tan40° = 
= 
( multiply both sides by 35 )
35 × tan40° = x , then
x ≈ 29.4 ft ( to 1 dec. place )
22 is the answer to this math problem
