ladder 5m tall when set against a wall of house just reach the window at a height 3m how far is the lower end of ladder from the base of the wall
1 answer:
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
A simple matter of using Pythagoras. The hypotenuse is the ladder, and one of the legs is the wall, and we have to figure out the value of the other leg.
The Pythagorean formuda is (hypotenuse = a): a² + b² = c² (b and c are the other sides)
applying the values: a = 5 and b or c is 3 (I'll put b = 3)
5² = 3² + c²
25 = 9 + c²
25 - 9 = c²
16 = c²
√16 = c
4 = c
c = 4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = total number of students
1500 + 367x = 16,600
367x = 16,600 - 1500
367x = 15100
x = 15100 / 367
x = 41.14.......rounds to 41 students <==
