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

1/8 (3d-2) = 1/4 (d+5)
tatiyna
OK, so for this equation, your goal is to get the d, and ONLY the d, on one side of the equation. So, to start out, you need to multiply the entire equation, meaning both sides, by 8 because we are trying to get rid of those pesky fractions.
8(1/8(3d-2)=1/4(d+5))
The equation then turns into this because the 8 and 4 cancelled out with the 8.
1(3d-2)=2(d+5)
Now, we need to distribute the left over numbers into the parenthesis.
3d-2=2d+10
And finally, we need to get the d's on one side, and the numbers on the other, so we subtract 2d from both sides and add the 2 to both sides. They then cancel out to make
d=12
Hope it helps!  :)

HELP PLEASE!!!
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to put your equations in y=mx+b form

Your first equation...

5x + 4y = 3

4y = 3-5x

y = -5/4x + 3/4

Your second equation...

5x-4y = -3

-4y = -5x -3

y = 5/4x + 3/4

The slopes aren't the same and are not reciprocals, so the answer would be neither.
