Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the part of the ladder on the ground creates a right angle with the building where the base is 7 feet and the hypotenuse is 15 feet

we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the height of the building

let 'b' = height of building

7² + b² = 15²

49 + b² = 225

b² = 176

b = \sqrt{176}

\sqrt{176} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{4}\sqrt{11} = 2·2\sqrt{11}

b = 4\sqrt{11} which is approximately 13.3 feet

2. What is the probability of spinning an A on the first spinner and an odd number
pychu [463]

Answer: <em>1/10</em>

Step-by-step explanation: These two events are independent, meaning the outcome of the first event doesn't affect the outcome of the second.

To find the probability of independent events, first, find the

probability of each event, then multiplies the probabilities.

The probability of spinning an A on the first spinner is 1/5

since there is 1 favorable outcome and 5 total outcomes.

The probability of spinning an odd number on the second spinner

is 3/6 which simplifies to 1/2 since there are 3 favorable outcomes,

spinning a 1, 3, or another 3 since these are odd numbers.

So now we have 1/5 × 1/2 and when multiplying fractions,

we multiply across the numerators and denominators to get 1/10.

So the probability of spinning an A, then an odd number is 1/10.
