Answer:

As per the statement:

A 25-foot ladder is placed against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the building.

⇒Length of the ladder against a building = 25 foot

and Length of the bottom of the ladder from the building= 7 feet.

You had Before the slip.

Let x be the height of the building where ladder hits the building

By Pythagoras theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse side}^2=\text{Perpendicular}^2+\text{Base}^2

Here, Perpendicular side = Height of the building = x ,  Base = Length of the bottom of the ladder from the building = 7 foot and Hypotenuse side = 25 foot

Substitute the value to solve for x;

25^2=x^2+7^2

625=x^2+49

or

x^2 = 625-49 = 576

x = \sqrt{576} = 24 foot.

⇒Height of the building = 24 foot

Now, if the ladder slips down 4 feet.

You had after slip

⇒Now, the height of the building becomes = 24-4 = 20 foot.

Let y be the distance from the building wall

then by Pythagoras theorem;

y^2+20^2 = 25^2

y^2+400 =625

y^2 = 625-400 = 225

y=\sqrt{225} = 15 foot.

We have to find how many feet will the bottom slide out.

Since, Originally the distance of the bottom from the building = 7 foot

And now, the distance is = 15 foot.

The bottom slide out will be = 15 - 7 =8 foot

Therefore, 8 feet will the bottom slide out

Jay Spring pays $350.00 annually for his health insurance. This is 1/3 of the total cost of the premium; his company pays the re
VashaNatasha [74]
$1,800 (10%) = $180 
jay pays 10% of the expenses beyond the deductible so you multiply the amount beyond the deductible by 10%.
$1,800 - $180 = $1,620 
or
$1,800 (90%) = $1,620
you subtract what jay pays from the total or you multiply the total by 90%

jay pays $180 of the expenses past the deductible (not including his $200 deductible) and his insurance company pays $1,620.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The answer is B ⇒ \sqrt{\frac{V}{15\pi }}=10

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ v = π r² h

∴ r² = \frac{V}{\pi h }

∴ r = \sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}

∵ r = 10 ft and h = 15 ft

∴ 10=\sqrt{\frac{V}{15\pi } }
