Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Statement                                           Reason

ΔWZX and ΔYZX are                         Given

right angled triangles

WX = YX                                              Given

XZ ≅ XZ                                               Reflexive property. The reflexive  

                                                            property of congruence states that              

                                                            any shape is congruent to itself.

∠XZW = ∠XZY                                     Definition of right angle.

∠XWZ = ∠XYZ                                     Definition of isosceles triangle.

                                                             Triangle XYW forms a right angled  

                                                             triangle since YX = WX

∠XWZ + ∠WXZ + ∠XZW = 180°           Sum of angles in triangle WZX

∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ = 180°            Sum of angles in triangle YZX

∠XWZ + ∠WXZ + ∠XZW =                 Substitution

∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ

∠XYZ + ∠WXZ + ∠XZY =                 Substitution

∠XZY + ∠XYZ + ∠YXZ

∠WXZ = ∠YXZ                                  Simplification

(2a+b)^2÷(3b-1) when a= -2 and b=5
WINSTONCH [101]
Evaluate (2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) where a = -2 and b = 5:
(2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) = (5 - 2×2)^2/(3×5 - 1)

3×5 = 15:

A ladder is leaning against the side of a building and positioned such that the base of the ladder is 17 ft from the base of the
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of base = 17 feet

Length above the ground = 23 feet

These forms two legs of right angled triangle.

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(17)^2 + (23)^2 = c^2 \\289 + 529 = c^2 \\c^2 = 818

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{818}\\c=28.6

Hence,

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.
