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.

x | \ 9

|_____\
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.

Hope this helped!
Sup do you have the photo of your hw?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ok, so this is an infinitly repeating function, so you can write it as:
sqrt(12-x)
Although, x is also equal to sqrt(12-x), so
x = sqrt(12-x), and
x^2 = 12-x
x^2-12+x = 0
now just apply the quadratic formula and you're good
hope i helped :D
