This is a standard Pythagorean value triangle of 3,4,5

AC=sqrt(3^2+4^2)= 5

So the hypotenuse AC is 5cm long so the answer is C

Answer:

4 ft higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladder is 10 ft long and its top is 6 feet high(above the ground), we find the distance of its base from the wall since these three (the ladder, wall and ground) form a right angled triangle. Let d be the distance from the wall to the ladder.

So, by Pythagoras' theorem,

10² = 6² + d²  (the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse side)

d² = 10² - 6²

d² = 100 - 36

d² = 64

d = √64

d = 8 ft

Since the ladder is moved so that the base of the ladder travels toward the wall twice the distance that the top of the ladder moves up.

Now, let x be the distance the top of the ladder is moved, the new height of top of the ladder is 6 + x. Since the base moves twice the distance the top of the ladder moves up, the new distance for our base is 8 - 2x(It reduces since it gets closer to the wall).

Now, applying Pythagoras' theorem to the ladder with these new lengths, we have

10² = (6 + x)² + (8 - 2x)²

Expanding the brackets, we have

100 = 36 + 12x + x² + 64 - 32x + 4x²

collecting like terms, we have

100 = 4x² + x² + 12x - 32x + 64 + 36

100 = 5x² - 20x + 100

Subtracting 100 from both sides, we have

100 - 100 = 5x² - 20x + 100 - 100

5x² - 20x = 0

Factorizing, we have

5x(x - 4) = 0

5x = 0 or x - 4 = 0

x = 0 or x = 4

The top of the ladder is thus 4 ft higher

there are 12 students who play the clarinet and 16 students who play the viola. what does the ratio 16:12 describe?​
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: The ratio 16:12 describes the ratio of the number of students who play the viola to the students who play the clarinet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of students who play the clarinet= 12

Number of students who play the viola=16

We know that ratio of A to B is represented by A:B.

Since, the number '12' is representing " students who play the clarinet" and  number '16' is representing  " students who play the viola"

So , the ratio 16:12 describes the ratio of the number of students who play the viola to the students who play the clarinet.

A right triangle has an area of 18 square inches.If the triangle is an isosceles triangle, what are the lengths of the legs of t
Gnom [1K]
If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.

A customer wants to purchase a pair of shoes that cost $45 and the state sales tax is 7%.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

$22.84

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax is calculated by 0.075 * 21.25 = 1.59375 or $1.59. So the total bill is the cost of items purchased plus tax, which is $21.25 + $1.59 = $22.84.
