First we need to find how far away the base of the ladder is from what it is leaning against. The ramp is the hypotenuse and the height from the ground in a leg. Let’s use Pythagorean’s theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Substitute

a^2 + (5)^2 = (20)^2

Solve for a^2

a^2 = (20)^2 - (5)^2

Solve for a

a = 5 √15

The slope will be rise over run

5/5 √15 = √15/15 or 0.258…

Find the value of x
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

<h2>          x = 15</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

RQ < PR < PQ

TV < UV < UT

ΔPQR~ΔUTV   ⇒     \dfrac{RQ}{TV}=\dfrac{PR}{UV}

\dfrac{8}{x-3}=\dfrac{14}{x+6}\\\\8(x+6)=14(x-3)\\\\8x+48=14x-42\\\\48+42=14x-8x\\\\90=6x\\\\x=90:6=15

The correct answer to your question is 6, option B.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent or power of the variable that is involved in the expression. In the above question we have only one variable which is x, and from the given terms we can see that the highest power of x is 6. So the degree of polynomial is 6. The degree of polynomials helps us to know about the end behavior of the graph.

Paul owes Paula 35 cents and has a pocket full of 5-cent coins, 10-cent coins, and 25-cent coins that he can use to pay her. Wha
kykrilka [37]
So, what is the case in which he uses the least coins? can he use 1 coin? no, there isn't a 35 cent coin. can he use 2 coins? yes! he can use 25+10 cent coins!

now, the largest number of coins means the coins of the smallest value: so using only 5 cent coins. How many would this be?

we have to divide:

35/5=7

so we would use 7 coins.

And the difference is 5: 7-2 is 5.
