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

<h3>Answer: 104 degrees</h3>

================================

Work Shown:

Inscribed angle theorem

arc measure = 2*(inscribed angle)

arc BCD = 2*(angle A)

arc BCD = 2*(97)

arc BCD = 194 degrees

-------------

Break arc BCD into its smaller pieces

arc BCD = (minor arc BC) + (minor arc CD)

194 = (90) + (minor arc CD)

194-90 = minor arc CD

104 = minor arc CD

<h3>minor arc CD = 104 degrees</h3>

What is the solution to the system of equations<br><br> y=2x-3.5<br><br> x-2y=-14
PIT_PIT [208]
Y-2x=-3.5
x-2y=-14
then multiply the first term by 2
2y-4x=-7
x-2y=-14
then sum them
-3x=-21
x=-7
y=3.5
