Visualize the image in your mind and you can see that it forms a right angled triangle with a base,altitude and hypotenuse
base=2 feet
hypotenuse(ladder)=13 ft
We need to find the altitude,
By applying pythagoras theorem,
base square+altitude square=hypotenuse square
Take altitude as x
2 square+x square=13 square
4+x square=169
x square=169-4
x square=165
x= root of 165
x=12.8 feet(approx.)
Answer:
108/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 20 students are boy and they pick more boys because there are 20 boys students
40×4×4=640
b=20 h=4
using formula:
1/2×base×height
1/2×20×4=40
its says scale by factor 4:
b=80 h=16
using formula:
1/2×base×height
1/2×80×16=640
answer------>>>>640cm^2
