A 9.85 m ladder is placed against a wall. The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and

Dafna1 [17]

Given:

Length of the ladder = 9.85 m

The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

To find:

The height to the top and the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

Solution:

let x be the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder. Then the height to the top of the ladder is (x+5).

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

In the given situation, hypotenuse is the length of ladder, i.e., 9.85 m. The base is x m and the height is (x+5) m.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(9.85)^2=x^2+(x+5)^2$

$97.0225=x^2+x^2+10x+25$

$0=2x^2+10x+25-97.0225$

$0=2x^2+10x-72.0225$

Here, $a=2, b=10,c=-72.0225$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{(10)^2-4(2)(-72.0225)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{676.18}}{4}$

Approximating the value, we get

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm 26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-10+26}{4},\dfrac{-10-26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16}{4},\dfrac{-36}{4}$

$x=4,-9$

Distance cannot be negative so $x\neq -9.$

Now we have $x=4$

$x+5=4+5$

$x+5=9$

Therefore, the base is 4 m and the height is 9 m.

Which explains how to find the quotient of the division below? Negative 3 and one-third divided by StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFra

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

(B) Write Negative 3 and one-third as Negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction, and find the reciprocal of StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction as StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction. Then, rewrite Negative 3 and one-third divided by StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction as Negative StartFraction 10 over 3 EndFraction times StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction. The quotient is Negative 7 and StartFraction 6 over 12 EndFraction = Negative 7 and one-half.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quotient of the division:

$-3\dfrac13 \div \dfrac49$
