Answer:

y = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5y + -6 = 10

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 5y = 10

Solving

-6 + 5y = 10

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 5y = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 5y = 10 + 6

5y = 10 + 6

Combine like terms: 10 + 6 = 16

5y = 16

Divide each side by '5'.

y = 3.2

Simplifying

y = 3.2

a 9ft ladder is placed 4.5 feet from the base of a wall. How high up will the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

x | \ 9

|_____\

4.5

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

However, we already know the hypotenuse and one leg. Therefore we can substitute inside the equation to find the missing value.

$a^2 + 4.5^2 = 9^2\\\\a^2 + 20.25 = 81\\\\a^2 = 60.75\\\\a \approx 7.79$

How do I find the ratio of this? It makes no sense to me

Volgvan

Answer:

$\frac{169}{289}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b, then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of sides = 52 : 68 = 13 : 17 ← in simplest form, thus

ratio of areas = 13² : 17² = 169 : 289 = $\frac{169}{289}$
