Answer:
The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem
We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;
We make reference to the diagram
Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;
Thus;
20/15 = 28/x + 15
20(x + 15) = 15(28)
20x + 300 = 420
20x = 420-300
20x = 120
x = 120/20
x = 6
So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft
To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Let the hypotenuse be marked x
x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2
x^2 = 1,225
x = √1225
x = 35 ft
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the toppings don't have to be the same
4*10*10*10*10=4000
If the toppings have to be different:
4*10*9*8*7=20160
So this is basically a ratio and the form I use to solve these is
Is. = %
Of. 100
So we're looking for 5% of the 350,000 which will be x
X. = 5
350000. 100
Cross multiply
100x=1750000
Divide by 100
X=17500
1 foot = 12 inches
2 x 12 = 24 +3 = 27 inches
3 x 12 = 36 +5 = 41 inches
27*41 = 1107 square inches
1107 * 0.35 = $387.45
