So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
The answer is 14 divided by 2
Answer:
8 vans
7 buses
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be "b" buses
and "v" vans
Since 7 people is the capacity of vans, the total capacity is
7v
Also, since 25 people is the capacity of 1 bus, the total capacity is
25b
In total 231 people, so we can write our first equation as:
7v + 25b = 231
Now, we know there are 15 vehicles (bus + vans) in total, so we can write our 2nd equation as:
v + b = 15
Now, we solve for v and b. Let's solve the 2nd equation for v and substitute that into 1st and solve for b first:
v + b = 15
v = 15 - b
Now,

Hence, there are 7 buses
Since 15 vehicles in total, the number of vans is:
15 - 7 = 8 vans
So,
8 vans
7 buses
Because you add both negative x’s which is -2 and add the -6 in the right side so then it’s -2x=4
Divide and you get x=-2
