Sarah was locked out of her apartment and the only way out is through a window three stories high 20 feet above the ground. She needed to borrow from one of her friends. There is a tree along the side of the house so she will need to put the ladder 15 feet from her apartment. How long does the ladder need to be to reach the apartment window?
Answer:
Isosceles triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Length AB
√(4 - 2)² + (7 - 2)²
√2² + 5²
√4 + 25
√29
Length AC
6 - 2 = 4
Length BC
√(6 - 4)² + (2 - 7)²
√2² + (-5)²
√4 + 25
√29
Length AB and BC is the same.
Length AC is the longest side.
Therefore, it is an isosceles triangle.
120÷100= 1.2
24÷1.2= 20
24 is 120% of 20
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-3x = 18-3(like terms)
or,5x = 15
or,x=15/5
or,x=3
