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

Lines k and p are perpendicular, neither is vertical and p passes through the origin. Which is greater? A. The product of the sl
AlladinOne [14]
What do we know about those two lines?

They are perpendicular, meaning they have the same slope.
We know the slope of both is not zero (neither is vertical).
Therefore either
1) Both slopes are positive and therefore the product is positive
2) Both slopes are negative and therefore the product is positive (minus by a minus is a plus)

For the y intercepts, we know that the line P passes through the origin.
Therefore its Y intercept is zero.
[draw it if this is not obvious and ask where does it cross the y axis]
Therefore the Y intercept of line K and line P is zero.
[anything multiplied by a zero is a zero]

So we know that the product of slopes is positive, and we know that the product of Y intercepts is zero.
So the product of slopes must be greater.

Answer:

17. 10x+24 OR 108   18. 72   19. 8.4

Step-by-step explanation:

(10x+24)+72=180

10x+96=180

10x=84

x=8.4

10x+24

10(8.4)+24

84+24

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

y-6=-1/3(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-6)/(3-(-6))

m=-3/(3+6)

m=-3/9

simplify

m=-1/3

y-6=-1/3(x-(-6))

y-6=-1/3(x+6)
