A ladder is leaning against

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 + 20 ^2 = x^2

225+400= x^2

625 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(625) = sqrt(x^2)

25 = x

Find the distance from point A(−9,−3) to the line y = x−6. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Vladimir79 [104]

The distance from point A(−9,−3) to the line y = x−6 is 8.5 units

<u>What is slope ?</u>

A line's steepness is determined by its slope. In mathematics, slope is determined by "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

step 1

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line

y=x-6 ---> given line

The slope is m=1

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

m1*m2 = -1

we have

m1=1

substitute

(1)*m2 = -1

so

m2 = -1

step 2

Find the equation of the perpendicular line to the given line

The equation in point slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-1

(x1,y1)=(−9,−3)

substitute

y+3=-1(x+9)--> equation in point slope form

y+3= -x-9

y= -x-12---> equation in slope intercept form

step 3

Find the intersection point between the given line and the perpendicular line to the given line

we have the system of equations

y = x−6.

y= -x-12

Solve the system by graphing

The intersection point is (-3,-9)

see the attached figure

step 4

we know that

The distance between the point A and the point (-3,-9) is the same that the distance between point A and the line y=x-6

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=√[(y2-y1)² + (x2-x1)²]

substitute the values

d=√[(-9+3)² + (-3+9)²]

d= √72 units

simplify

d= 6√2 = 8.5 units

A spinner used in a board game is divided into 12 equally sized sectors. Seven of these sectors indicate that the player should
xeze [42]

Answer:

20.8 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of spinner:

45.1 is the area of sectors where the token doesn't move, which 5 sectors doesn't move the token (don't forget that the bonus points doesn't move token). Then

45.1/5=9.02

9.02*12=108.24

K=1/2(r^2)sin150

108.24=1/2(r^2)sin150

216.48=(r^2)1/2

432.96=r^2

r=20.8

Please help 30 points!!!!!!! Convert 45.25 mL into ft3.
Lorico [155]

This on the web one-way conversion tool converts volume or capacity units from milliliters ( ml ) into cubic feet ( ft 3 , cu ft ) instantly online. 1 milliliter ( ml ) = 0.000035 cubic feet ( ft 3 , cu ft ). How many cubic feet ( ft 3 , cu ft ) are in 1 milliliter ( 1 ml )? How much of volume or capacity from milliliters to cubic feet, ml to ft<sup>3</sup> , cu ft?

hope this helps!
