15.5 I believe but don’t hold me to it!
Answer:
Here look at this graph this is your answer.
2x+y=-4
5x+3y=-6
multiply first equaton by -5 and second by 2 then add them
-10x-5y=20
<u>10x+6y=-12 +</u>
0x+1y=8
y=8
the y value is 8
The measure of exterior all angles of a regular n-agon is 180
now for the decagon which has 10 angles is 180/10=18
The situation forms the right triangle above:
Where x is the length of the ladder.
Apply the Pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 +b^1
where:
c = hypotenuse = longest side = x
A &b = the other 2 legs of the triangle
Replacing:
x^2 = 60^2 + 15^2
Solve for x
x^2 = 3,600 + 225
x^2 = 3,825
x =√3,825
x = 61.85 ft
