Answer:

14.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angled triangle;

The length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 15foot

The base of the ladder is the adjacent = 4feet

The height of th house is the opposite = x

Using the pythagoras theorem;

hyp² = opp² + adj²

15² = opp²+4²

opp² = 15²- 4²

opp² = 225 - 16

opp² = 209

opp = 14.45feet

Hence the ladder reaches 14.45 feet up the house

What is the value of y?<br> y +10°<br> 50°<br> A. 500<br> B. 40°<br> C. 60°<br> ОО<br> D. 300
klasskru [66]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

y + 10 + 2y + 50 = 180 , that is

3y + 60 = 180 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

3y = 120 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 40 → B
