8 0

Answer:

this is a pythagorean theorem problem. 24 is the whole ladder, and if you draw it out, is a hypotenuse. 8 is a leg. . so 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

b^2 = 512, so b = sqrt(512) = 22.6

ASAP:::::: 75 POINTS TO THE BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

t = 6 4/25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find out how long it takes them to do the job is

1/m  + 1/ a  = 1 /t

where m is the time for Matthew to do the job

a is the time for Arianna to do the job

and t is the time for them to do the job together

m = 14 hours

a = 11 hours

Substituting what we know

1/14 + 1/11 = 1/t

Multiplying by 154t (14*11*t) so we can clear the fractions

154t*(1/14 + 1/11) = 1/t* 154t

 11t + 14t = 154

Combine like terms

25t = 154

Divide by 25

t = 154/25

t = 6 4/25 hours

Plz help with numbers 9 and 10!
Vlada [557]
Question number 9
Angle 1 is 75. This is because If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.

Angle 2 is 105. This is because If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.

Question number 10
Angle 1 is 120. This is because If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.

Angle 2 is 60. This is because If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary.
