Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 17
BOOM!
Answer:
little rusty but I think its b sorry if wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let vertical height of ladder from ground be y and
horizontal distance of the base of the ladder from the wall be x respectively.
Length of the ladder = l (constant) = 10 ft
<u>Using Pythagoras theorem</u>:

Differentiate both sides w.r.t time


<u>We know that</u> (After 1 sec, y = 6 ft and x = 8 ft ; dy/dt = 2 ft/sec)


<u>( Ignore - ive sign)</u>
Therefore, bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a speed of 1.5 ft/sec one second after the ladder starts sliding.
2- and 3- not sure though
