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

What is the solution to the inequality? 4x−5&gt;19−8x
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

x>1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from each side to get 4x>14-8x

change the symbol from +8 to -8

4x> 14+ (-8x)

than add 8x to both sides

12x > 14

which would mean that x has to be greater than 1.16

x>1.16

Shtirlitz [24]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is rewrite the equation correctly.
 We have then:
 T = 50 + (N-40) / 4
 We substitute the value of N = 98, we have then:
 T = 50 + (98-40) / 4
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Answer:
 the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T is:
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
