You can do anything between .50 and .75. For example .55. .55=55% .55 also equals 11/20 as a fraction
The ladder resting against the house forms a triangle similar to the one in the image below
To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = x
b = 4
c = 20
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
solve for x
+ 16 = 400
= 384
x = 8√6
or
x ≈ 19.5959....
Hope this helped!

Applying the leg rule, and solving algebraically, the lengths are determined as:
JG = 9
HJ = 12
<h3>What is the Leg Rule?</h3>
The Leg rule states that when an altitude bisects the right angle of a right triangle and intersects the hypotenuse, then, hypotenuse/leg = leg/part.
Find length of JG using algebraic solutions and the leg rule:
Let JG = x
Hypotenuse = x + 16
Leg = 15
Part = x
Therefore:
(x + 16)/15 = 15/x (leg rule)
Cross multiply
x(x + 16) = (15)(15)
x² + 16x = 225
x² + 16x - 225 = 0
Factorize
(x + 25)(x − 9) = 0
x = -25 or x = 9
The length of JG (x) cannot be negative, therefore, the length of JG = 9.
Find length of JG using algebraic solutions:
Let HJ = y
Based on the altitude theorem, we would have:
y = √(16 × JG)
Substitute
y = √(16 × 9)
y = √(144)
y = 12
Therefore, the length of HJ is: 12.

Answer for 13: 89 percent because 89/100 is .89 or 89 percent
Answer for 14: part a: 1/10 because Each person gets ten percent so 10 times 10 is 100
Part b: it can be expressed as 0.10 in decimal form
