Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the situation, it forms into a right triangle. So we will apply the Pythagorean Theorem here. The ladder acts as the hypotenuse while the height from the ground to the window serves as our side "a". We are tasked to solve for "b". Side "b" is the distance from foot of side a to the tip of side c which is the hypotenuse (ladder). We will derive the formula below to solve for b.

c = √( a² + b² )

c² = a² + b²

b² = c² - a²

b = √ ( c² - a² )

b = √ ( 13² - 12² )

b = 5 meters

Correct me if I'm wrong. I hope it helps.

A scientist studying earth's rotation determines that a specific location on earth's equator travels about 40,000 kilometers in
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

The first thing you have to do is convert km to miles

Formula

1 mile = 1.6 km

x mile = 40000 km              Cross Multiply

Solution

1.6*x = 1 * 40000                  Divide by 1.6

x = 40000/1.6

x = 25000 miles

             

Answer Part 1

The distance covered is 25000 miles

Discussion Part 2

That's the distance covered in a day. Now we need to convert that to speed. The time (in hours) for 1 day is 24 hours.

Givens

d = 25000 miles

t = 24 hours

s = ?

Solution

s = d/t

s = 25000 / 24

s = <u>1041.66 </u> miles per hour

Answer: 1041.66 is what is to be entered as your answer
