A ladder is leaning against a wall. The top of the ladder touches the wall at a height that is 5 feet less than the length of th
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

25 feet

Explanation:

Let the ladder be 'H' feet long

Given;

Ladder touches the wall at a height = H - 5 feet

The distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall = H - 10 feet

now a right angles triangle is formed by the system,

where,

Ladder forms the hypotenuse of the triangle

Height of the wall is the perpendicular

and, distance at the base is the base of the triangle formed

Therefore,

from the Pythagoras theorem, we have

H² = ( H - 10 )² + ( H - 5 )²

or

H² = H² + 100 - 20H + H² + 25 - 10H

or

H² = 2H² + 125 - 30H

or

H² -30H + 125 = 0

on solving the quadratic equation, we get

H² + ( - 5H - 25H ) + 125 = 0

or

H ( H - 5 ) - 25 (H - 5) = 0

or

(H - 5) × (H - 25) = 0

therefore,

we have

H = 5 feet and H = 25 feet

now,

H = 5 is not possible as this length of the ladder will lead to the negative distance at the base and also, the height of the at the wall be zero

Hence,

the length of the ladder is 25 feet

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

B. follows the same structure as a business letter

Students in grades K-12 are measured in English listening, speaking, and writing on TELPAS through a holistic rating process. Wh
Bess [88]

Answer:

The option that is not part of that intended process is:

* Used in retaining students in grade-level if they are not advanced enough to successfully proceed in the curriculum.

Explanation:

* Used in retaining students in grade-level if they are not advanced enough to successfully proceed in the curriculum.

* Teacher-conducted and used in ongoing quality instruction and formative assessment Rubrics-based process of evaluating abilities as a whole rather than as skills in isolation

* Used for official summative TELPAS assessment in spring of the year

* A direct and authentic way to assess English language proficiency

The results that teachers and school get from the grading of their students with the TELPAS method can not be used as a way to keep a student in the current school year, it gives accurate information about the student's level which later would definitely determine the academic possibilities the student could have but it does not allow the teacher to keep the student.
