Answer:

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.

4.5
We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that
, 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.

Answer:

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 =
