Answer:

Solution given:

base=8ft

hypotenuse=17ft

perpendicular=?

By using Pythagoras law

hypotenuse ²=perpendicular ²+base²

17²=perpendicular ²+8²

perpendicular ²=17²-8²

perpendicular=\sqrt{225}=15

<h3>the distance between the ground and the top of the ladder, <u>x is 15ft.</u></h3>

wariber [46]

Simplified expression that represents the cost of renting 6 scooters is 18 j +30

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given data:

The cost of renting of a scooter is represented by 3j +5

So, from that, we can say in general,

The cost of renting of n scooters is represented by  

                                 n \times(3 j+5)

But according to given, the value of n is 6. i.e. to find the cost for six number of scooters. We can calculate now as follows

So, the cost of renting of a scooter is represented by  

                                 6 \times(3 j+5)=18 j+30
