Answer:
11/6
Step-by-step explanation:
16/3 - 7/2 = 16/3 x 2/2 - 7/2 x 3/3 = 32/6 - 21/6 = 32-21/6 = 11/6
25-9=16 so 16 is the answer
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
Let SUV be a triangle
Perimeter of SUV = SU+SV + UV
102 = 38 + 26 + UV
102 = 64 + UV
UV = 102 - 64
UV = 38
Hence the length of UV is 38
