A) How high up the wall does it reach?
Use the Pythagorean theorem
Height^2 + Base^2 = Hyp^2
H^2+ 2^2 = 4^2 Subtract the 2^2 from both sides
H^2 = 4^2 -2^2 Multiply the square roots of both the numbers
H^2= 16 - 4
H^2 = 12
H= sqrt(12) m
Hope this helps

Answer:
23, 49
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the smaller of the two numbers. Then the larger is s+26, and the sum is ...
s + (s+26) = 72
2s = 72 -26
s = (72 -26)/2 = 23
Then the larger number is
s +26 = 49
The two numbers are 23 and 49.

The reason we wrote the solution this way is to show you that the smaller number is half the difference between the given sum (72) and difference (26). This is the generic solution to a "sum and difference" problem. The smaller number is always half the difference of the give sum and difference. (Similarly, the larger is always half the sum of the given sum and difference.)
That is, the two numbers are always half the sum ± half the difference:
72/2 ± 26/2 = {36+13, 36-13} = {49, 23}
Answer:
f = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute
-11f = 7 - 14f + 5
Step 2: Combine like terms
-11f = 12 - 14f
Step 3: Add 14f to both sides
3f = 12
Step 4: Divide both sides by 3
f = 4
<span>The next letter is 'n'. The pattern misses a letter after a pair of letters, for example: 'a' and 'b' are a letter pair, then 'c' is skipped, then the letter pair 'd' and 'e' comes next. For every other letter pair, the order is reversed so they are not in alphabetical order. The next letter pair is 'm' and 'n', and because the pair 'j' and 'k' is in alphabetical order, this pair must be reversed. Therefore, the next letter is 'n'.</span>
