Answer: x^2-3x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine the like terms.
x^2 -3x+15
Hold on I’m not answering but do you do FLVS school?
This is the concept of application of geometry; the distance that the ladder should be placed will be given by Pythagorean theorem.
thus;
c^2=a^2+b^2
where, c=hypotenuse, a and b are the legs
hence;
15^2+12^2+b^2
b^2=15^2-12^2
b^2=225-144
b^2=81
getting the square root of both sides;
b=sqrt81
b=9
therefore the ladder should be placed 9 feet from the wall for it to reach 12 feet up the building
The length would be 85 km
This is the concept of scale factors; The length of the larger figure will be calculated as follows;
linear scale factor=[length of larger figure]/[length of smaller figure]
plugging the values in the above formula we get:
let the length of the larger figure be x;
thus;
x/12=4/3
multiplying both sides by 12 to solve for x we get:
12*x/12=4/3x12
x=16
thus the length of the larger figure is x=16
