4b. Laura has a 12-foot ladder. The safety instructions recommend the
base of the ladder be placed 4 feet from the base of the wall. How highwill the ladder be able to reach on the wall? WRITE YOUR ANSWER AS A SIMPLIFIED RADICAL. (HINT: Use the abbreviation sqrt to mean "square root of." For example an answer might look like 5sqrt3, and be read "five times the square root of 3".)
Answer: x = 6
==============================================
Explanation:
The medians of a triangle meet up at the centroid in such a way that they cut each other at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that one part of the median is twice as long as the other. In this case, MO is two times longer than OP, so,
OP = 2*MO
and
MP = MO + OP
MP = MO + 2*MO .... replace OP with 2*MO
MP = 3*MO
9x-24 = 3*(x+4) ... plug in the given expressions
9x-24 = 3x+12
9x-3x = 12+24
6x = 36
x = 36/6
x = 6
