Andrew can reach a maximum of
high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the
ratio. that is

where
is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for
, we get

Since Andrew can reach an extra
above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

Answer: One solution Explanation: just did this lesson a day ago
Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'
We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒

Equation [2] ⇒

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought
When we have two equations in terms of two different variables;

and

, that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem.
First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either

or

the subject:


Then we substitute

into Equation [2]






Now we know the value of

which is

, substitute this value into

we have

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
use Pythagoras theorem,
