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>

Answer:

Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = 17^2 - 8^2

x^2 = 225

x = sqrt(225) = 15

The distance is 15 ft

I understand the simple interest part, however I don’t understand the compounded interest part, need help quick.
Burka [1]
Compound interest is the starting amount x (1+ the interest rate as a decimal)^ the time in years=the final amount.

In your case, the equation will be $1000*(1+0.10)^how many years= the final amount.
