Use the pythagorean theorem.
The foot of the ladder is 4 feet away from the building (leg 1)
The height of the building is leg 2
The ladder, which would be at an angle, is 12 feet. So our hypotenuse would be 12. The equation for this would be a²+4²=12²
We can then begin to solve
a² + 16 = 144
a² = 128
a=11.31
So, our answer is: The top of the ladder reaches the building at 11.31 feet up
Answer:
Sixteen
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 = 2/8
8/8 - 2/8 = 6/8
This means 6 slices are left out of 8 slices.
The value of x according to the given task is; 12.
<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>
It follows from the task content that the value of x is to be determined.
Since, lines AB and BC are both tangent to the circle and they both share a point of intersection; it follows that;
5x = 3x +24
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12.
