Answer: E. :)
Step-by-step explanation:
These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.
There are three right triangles.
From the big right triangle:
a^2 + b^2 = 25^2
From the small right triangle on the left side:
(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2
From the small right triangle on the right side
x^2 +10^2 = b^2
=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2
=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2
=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2
=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0
Use the quadratic formular to find the roots:
x = 2.1 and x = 47.9
Distance from back: 25 - 2.1 = 22.9 ft
Answer: 22.9 ft
4050 ft is the total square footage of the house.

I did that question before
Answer:
The slope is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the roof is decreasing in height as it goes forward, I know that the slope must be negative. The equation to find the slope is rise/run. The vertical change, or the rise, is -6 feet, so that value goes on top of the fraction. The horizontal value, or the run, is 3 feet so that goes on the bottom of the fraction.
Now our fraction is 
If you simplify that fraction, you'll get -2.
