Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to draw a horizontal line from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the tree and then draw a vertical line from the bottom of the tree to the top of the ladder, we'd get a right triangle with legs as the distance between the bottom of the tree and the bottom of the ladder and the height of the ladder, and the hypotenuse is the length.

Here, we know the hypotenuse is 10 feet and that the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree, so use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

h = \sqrt{10^2-4^2} =\sqrt{84} ≈ 9.2 feet

The answer is C.

Answer:

9.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the ground and the tree

10² = 4² + h²

h² = 100 - 16

h² = 84

h = 9.16515139

Find the slope if it exits 2x-5y=6
77julia77 [94]
In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.

If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

Set it equal to y

2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.

Three friends went apple picking and then counted the apples they picked.Who had the largest red to green apple ratio? Use compl
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Carmen had the largest red to green apple ratio of 5 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Red apples : Green apples

Carmen = 20 red apples : 12 green apples

= 20 / 12

= 5 / 3 = 1.67

= 5 : 3

Dylan = 12 red apples : 10 green apples

= 12 / 10

= 6 / 5 = 1.2

= 6 : 5

Eli = 16 red apples : 20 green apples

= 16 / 20

= 4 / 5 = 0.8

= 4 : 5

Carmen had the largest red to green apple ratio of 5 : 3
