Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to approach this that makes the most sense to a student would be to find out how far from the house the ladder currently is, then add 3 feet to that and do the problem all over again. This is right triangle stuff...Pythagorean's Theorem in particular. The ladder is the hypotenuse, 52 feet long. The height of the rectangle is the distance the ladder is up the side o the house, 48 feet. We plug those into Pythagorean's Theorem and solve for the distance the ladder is from the house:
and
and
so
x = 20. Now if we add the 3 feet that the ladder was pulled away from house, the distance from the base of the ladder to the house is 23 feet, the ladder is still 52 feet long, but what's different is the height of the ladder up the side of the house, our new x:
and
and
so
x = 46.6 feet
This is C. cos Z = sin (90 - Y)

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the coefficients of z are such that elimination of the z term from the equations is made easy.
Adding equations 1 and 2:
(2x -3y -2z) +(x +3y +2z) = (4) +(-7)
3x = -3
x = -1
Adding equations 2 and 3:
(x +3y +2z) +(-4x -4y -2z) = (-7) +(10)
-3x -y = 3
Substituting for x, we get ...
(-3)(-1) -y = 3
0 = y . . . . . . . . . . . add y-3 to both sides
Then z can be found from any equation. Substituting for x and y in the second equation gives ...
-1 +2z = -7
2z = -6 . . . . . add 1
z = -3 . . . . . .divide by 2
The solution is (x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3).
Step-by-step explanation:
- The area of the blue square will always equal the sum of the area of the orange and red rectangles
The pythagorian theorem:
a²+b² = c²
now let a be the side of the red triangle and b the side of the orange one
so a² is the area of the red triangle and b² is the area of the orange one
Let c be the side of the blue rectangle
so c² is the area of it
then what we concluded is right
- the hypotenuse is the blue side since it is the larger one
