Answer:

the length of the shortest ladder is 11.41 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the length of the shortest ladder is shown below:

AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2

AB^2= (10)^2 + (5.5)^2

AB^2= 100 + 30.25

AB^2 = 130.25

AB = 11.41 feet

hence, the length of the shortest ladder is 11.41 feet

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Probability that it will rain on Sunday= 0.7

Probability that it will rain on Monday = 0.2

Firstly we need to solve for the probability that it will rain on Tuesday

Sample space S = number of week days = 7

Probability that I will rain on Tuesday = 1/7= 0.14

Hence the probability that it rains on BOTH Monday and Tuesday= 0.2*0.14= 0.028

Rounding up the nearest hundredths = 0.03
