We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.

11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares

121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides

B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75

B = 5 root3

Use intercepts to graph the linear equation 4x +6y=12
Ratling [72]
X intercept: when Y = 0
Y intercept: when X = 0
Plug into equation
4x + 6(0) = 12
4x = 12, x = 3
Therefore x int = (3,0)
4(0) + 6y = 12
6y = 12, y = 2
Therefore y int = (0,2)
Plug those points then draw a line through them

The graph shows the speed of sams car over time which best describes what is happening in section c
JulsSmile [24]
The graph is missing, so I am using a graph for a similar question.

It migh even be the same question, but the important thing is that I am going to explain you the situation in several sections of this diagram and so you will be able to work this kind of problems by  your selfl.

The graph is attached (see the figure).

The graph shows the evolution of the speed (vertical-axis) over time (horizontal-axis).

In the section A, the speed increases linearly: so the car is speeding up uniformly (constant acceleration).

In the section B, the line is horizontal which shows that the speed is constant. That is a uniform motion.

In the section C, the speed is decreasing uniformly, so the car is slowing down with uniform negative acceleration.

So, for this graph, the answer is: in the setion C. the car is slowing down (uniformly).

Answer:

C. is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is incorrect because the sequence does not start with 15

B. is incorrect because the pattern increases by 5, not multiplied by 5

C. is correct because all of the even numbers in the pattern do end in 0

D. is incorrect because even numbers don't end in 5's

Hope this helps!
