Answer:

10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the distance to be reached is 8 feet above ground and she she placed a ladder so that it reached the bottom of the window, the base of the ladder was 6 feet from the house, the length of the ladder considered with the other lengths forms a right angled triangle.

The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse side hence using pythagoras theorem

F^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

where F is the length of the ladder in feet

F^2 = 64 + 36

= 100

find the root of both sides

F = 10 feet

The ladder is 10 feet long

The ratio table below shows the relationship between the weight of apples purchased and the total cost of the apples.
Flauer [41]

When the weight of apples is increased by a factor of 4, total cost increases by 8.

<h3>What is the increase in total cost?</h3>

The first step is to determine the relationship between the weight of apples and their total cost.

Relationship between weight and total cost = $2 / 1 = $2

Increase in total cost = $2 x 4 = $8

Tripp and Rico are two dogs. Tripp weighs exactly 35 pounds more than Rico. Together, they weigh exactly 49 pounds. How much doe
babymother [125]
Call the weights of the two dogs t and r.

We know that Tripp weights 35lbs more than Rico, or:
t=r+35

We also know that the total weight of both dogs is 49lbs.:
t+r=49

Now, by substitution:
(r+35)+r=49
2r+35=49
2r+35-35=49-35
2r=14
r=\frac{14}{2}
r=7
Rico weighs 7lbs.

Then:
t=r+35
t=7+35
t=42
Tripp weighs 42lbs.

To check our work:
t+r=49
42+7=49
49=49  CHECK!
