If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)
a²+b²=c²
12²+b²=15²
144+b²=225
b²=81
√b²=√81
b=9
Answer:
I am so sorry but the link will not let me see the question
Step-by-step explanation:
could you put a screen shot of the question and maybe i could try to help :)
The answer is a 36
This is because if you take the area of one of the three triangles that make up the trapezoid you do 1/2 base times height and get 12 and you add all three together thus getting 36 square inches
11.6 because the square root of 135 is 11.61885.... and when you check it is approximately 135 because 11.6 *11.6 = 134.56, which can be rounded to 135
Multiple 15 times 8 and that is your answer
