Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)
Answer:
(a) is False (b) is true (c) is true
Step-by-step explanation:
Do Pythagorean Theorem because a rectangle divided in diagonals form right triangles
A^2+b^2=C^2
Plug in the correct numbers and solve
A and B can be switched around but C is always the longest diagonal side which is called the hypotenuse not the Adjacent sides that form a right angle
So with correct solving you should get 5.
Answer:
y = 23
x = -4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Equation
8x + y = -13 ......eq1
8x + 2y = 10........eq2
Find:
Solution
Computation:
Eq2 - Eq1
y = 23
From eq1
8x + y = -13
8x + 23 = -13
8x = -36
x = -4.5
