Step-by-step explanation:

5x +2 = 182 -4x

5x+4x = 182-2

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20

4y +2 = 5x +2

4y = 5x

4y = 5(20)

4y = 100

y = 100/4

y = 25

A 9.85 m ladder is placed against a wall. The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and

Dafna1 [17]

Given:

Length of the ladder = 9.85 m

The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

To find:

The height to the top and the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

Solution:

let x be the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder. Then the height to the top of the ladder is (x+5).

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

In the given situation, hypotenuse is the length of ladder, i.e., 9.85 m. The base is x m and the height is (x+5) m.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(9.85)^2=x^2+(x+5)^2$

$97.0225=x^2+x^2+10x+25$

$0=2x^2+10x+25-97.0225$

$0=2x^2+10x-72.0225$

Here, $a=2, b=10,c=-72.0225$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{(10)^2-4(2)(-72.0225)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{676.18}}{4}$

Approximating the value, we get

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm 26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-10+26}{4},\dfrac{-10-26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16}{4},\dfrac{-36}{4}$

$x=4,-9$

Distance cannot be negative so $x\neq -9.$

Now we have $x=4$

$x+5=4+5$

$x+5=9$

Therefore, the base is 4 m and the height is 9 m.

At which one of the following times is the angle between the hands of a clock exactly one straight angle? a)12:00 b)12:30 b)3:45

Marta_Voda [28]

12:00 will have both hands pointing up
12:30 will have the straight line at the half past part but it will not be exactly on the 12
3:45 it will be past the 3 and exactly on 45 so it will not work
And 6:00 will be a straight line as one hand will be at the 12 and and it will be straight on the 6 as it is on the hour so the answer is d
