Answer: 51.54 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder should be 1 feet away from the wall by each 4-feet that the wall rises, so if we have a 50 ft wall, the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall must be:

50ft/4 = 12.5ft.

Now we know the cathetus of our ladder, 12.5ft and 50ft, let's find the hypotenuse, that is:

H = √(12.5^2 + 50^2) = 51.54 feet.

Which is also the lenght of our ladder, so the shortest ladder to climb safely a 50 ft wall is 51.54 ft long.

The figures in the picture are similar to each other find the value of x
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures have sides that are proportional.  Setting up a proportion for the sides of the figures will help solve for 'x':

\frac{small}{large}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{(x-3)}{(x+1)}

Cross-multiply:  3(x + 1) = 6(x - 3)

Distribute:  3x + 3 = 6x - 18

Combine like terms:  21 = 3x

Solve for 'x':  x = 7
