Answer:

39 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

let length of ladder =x feet

height of ladder will be=x-3 feet

ground distance of ladder bottom to building=15 feet

Applying Pythagorean relation

a²+b²=c²

where a=15 feet b=x-3 feet and c=x feet thus

x²-15²=(x-3)²

x²-225=x²-6x+9

collect like term

x²-x²-225-9=-6x

-234= -6x

x= 39 feet length of ladder

distance from ground to top of ladder= 39-3=36 feet

Bill notes that his apple tree is 4/5 the size of his pear tree is apple tree is 4 M tall how tall is the pear tree
e-lub [12.9K]

1) Given that the apple tree is 4/5 pear tree we can write

Apple Tree size = 4/5 Peartree

Apple tree= 4m

2) So we can write the following expression for that:

\begin{gathered} Apple=\frac{4}{5}P \\ 4=\frac{4}{5}_{}P \\ 4P=20m \\ P=\frac{20}{4} \\ P=5 \\  \\  \end{gathered}

So the Pear tree is 5 meters tall, and the apple tree is 4/5*5 = 4 m

(x+1)-6(x+1)+8 how to factorise it?<br>​
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have written the question correctly, then you don't need to factor it. You only need to remove the brackets.

x + 1 + 6x + 6 + 8

7x + 15 is your final answer.

However, I think the question is

(x + 1)^2 + 6(x + 1) + 8

Let y = x + 1

y^2 + 6y + 8

(y + 2)(y + 4)

(x + 1 + 2 ) ( x + 1 + 4)

(x + 3)(x + 5)
