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

Describe the effect on the area of a circle when the radius is doubled
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The original area would be multiplied by the scale factor of 2² to get the new area.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you double the radius lets so lets do an example

(a=πr²) so

if x is the radius the area would be x²π      

double the radius so 2x then the area would be

(2x)²π so 4x²π

4x²π/x²π= 4 so its 4 times greater or

D the last answer or The original area would be multiplied by the scale factor of 2² to get the new area.

The sample with the greater variability is the orange sample as the interquartile range value of 11 is greater Than 8 for Apple.

Yes it is possible, because of the greater variation on weight shown by the sample of oranges, then it could be possible.

Write a linear function ff with f(4)=−3f(4)=−3 and f(0)=−2f(0)=−2
Nonamiya [84]
<span>The line goes through the points (4,-3) and (0,-2), so its gradient is (-2-(-3))/(0-4) = -1/4. The y-intercept is -2 because f(0)=-2. So the equation of the line is y = -1/4 x - 2.This can be represented by the linear function f(x) = (-1/4)x - 2. The composite function ff is given by ff(x) = f(-1/4 x - 2) = (-1/4)((-1/4)x - 2) - 2 = x/16 - 3/2.</span>

Erin created a scale drawing for a garden that will be 10 ft by 5 ft. She plans to include a section in the garden for herbs, wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the garden in the actual are 10 ft by 5 ft

The dimensions of the garden on the scale drawing are 12 in. by 6 in

step 1

Find the scale factor

To find the scale factor divide the corresponding side on the scale drawing by the corresponding side in the actual

so

\frac{12}{10}\ \frac{in}{ft}

simplify

1.2\ \frac{in}{ft}

That means

1.2 inches in the drawing represent 1 foot in the actual

step 2

Find out  the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing

we know that

The dimensions of the herb garden in the actual are 2 ft by 5 ft

Multiply by the scale factor

so

2\ ft=2(1.2)=2.4\ in

5\ ft=5(1.2)=6\ in

therefore

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in
