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

The difference between the most hours of sleep and the least of these students was 2.5 hours. True or false?​
SashulF [63]

The correct anwer is False

Explanation

According to the graph, it can be seen that a student has four hours of sleep as the minimum number of hours of sleep; two students have six hours of sleep, four students have six and a half hours of sleep, four have seven hours of sleep, three have seven and a half hours of sleep, five have eight hours of sleep, and one has eight and a half hours of sleep as maximum hours of sleep. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the statement that the difference between the maximum amount and the minimum number of hours is two and a half hours is false because between four hours and eight and a half hours there are four and a half hours of difference. So, the correct answer is False.
