Answer:

16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the situation above, it forms into a right triangle. Therefore we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem. We will use the formula below:

c = √( a² + b²)

In the problem above, the ladder acts as the hypotenuse denoted by c. It has a length of 20 ft. While the base denoted by b is 12 ft. Therefore, we need to solve for a. We will derive the formula above.

c² = a² + b²

a² = c² - b²

a = √( c² - b² )

a = √( 20² - 12² )

a = 16

The unit is in ft.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I hope it helps.

Solution:     =====>       -7 + {12 - 3[50 - 4(2 + 3) ] }   ======>     -85



Simplify :

−7     +    12      −     3(50    -       4(2      +      3))

=         5     −   3(50   −    4(2      +      3))

=         5     −     3(50     −        (4)(5))

=        5     −     3(50   −    20)

=        5    −     (3)(30)

=         5     −     90

=      − 85

Answer   ========>        -85





Hope that helps!!!!                                                     : )

Identify the value of y<br><br><br> (3y+5)=-4-8y+9+77
noname [10]

Answer:

Y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

(3y+5)= -4 -8y +9 + 77

     -5    -5            

    3y= -9 - 8y + 9 + 77

           +9          -9

    3y=  -8y + 77

    +8y    +8y

      11y = 77

      11y/11    77/11

        y = 7

1. subtract 5 from both sides

2. add -9 and +9 and you get 0

3. add 8y to both sides

4. divide both sides by 11

5. you get y=7
