suppose a 13 foot ladder is leaning against a building. Reaching to the bottom of a second floor window 12 ft above the ground. How far is the base of the ladder from the building? Round your answer to the nearest 10th

5 ft
4ft
3ft
6ft​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: First Choice. 5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to know the idea of the Pythagorean theorem.

Since a building is straight, the base angle is a right angle, thus it would be a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

**NOTE** Please refer to the attachment below for the figure. (I drew it, so if it was not clear and understandable for you, please tell me.)

Solve:

Given information

a = 12 ft

c = 13 ft

b = unknow base length

Given formula for Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Substitute values into the formula

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify exponents

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 on both sides

144 + b² - 144= 169 - 144

b² = 25

Square root both sides

√b² = √25

[tex]\boxed{b=5}[/tex]

Aisha wants to paint the wall of the room. She knows that each can of the paint contain one gallon. A half gallon will completetly cover a 55 square feet of wall. Each of the four wall of the room is 10 feet high. Two of the walls are 10 feet wide and two of the walls are 15 ft wide. How many one gallons buckets of paint does aisha need to buyin order to paint the room ?

Answers

Answer:

It doesn't say what to do with that 0.1 of a gallon. I would buy another gallon or dilute what I had so it came to exactly 9.1 gallons. In math, I suppose the answer is 9.

In reality it would be 10.

You have to choose.  What has been done with other questions like this.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 can covers 55 square feet.

h = 10

w1 = 10 feet

w2 = 10 feet

w3 = 15 feet

w4 = 15 feet

Total area = Area of wall 1 + wall 2 + wall 3 + wall 4

Total area = 10*10 + 10*10 + 10*15 + 10* 15

Total area = 100  + 100 + 150 + 150

Total area = 500  feet^2

1 gallon / 55 ft^2 = x / 500 ft^2          Cross multiply

55 * x = 500                                       Divide by 55

x = 500/55

x = 9.1 gallons.

In real life you would buy another gallon.

solve 4m plus 2n equals 5n for m.

Answers

Answer:

m = (3/4) n

Step-by-step explanation:

4m + 2n = 5n

The subtraction property of equality states that we can subtract 2n from both sides to isolate the m and its coefficient to get

4m = 3n

The division property of equality states that we can divide 4 from both sides to isolate only the m (we divide by 4 because anything divided by itself equals 1) to get

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points
(3,-2) and (6, 1).
y=x-5
y = 5x + 1
y = -x + 5

Answers

Answer:

It is y = x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of a line:

[tex]{ \bf{y = mx + c}}[/tex]

m is the gradient, and c is y-intercept.

For gradient:

[tex]slope = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x _{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]

substitute:

[tex]slope = \frac{1 - ( - 2)}{6 - 3} \\ \\ = \frac{3}{3} \\ slope \: = 1[/tex]

m = 1

for y-intercept:

consider point (6, 1):

[tex]y = mx + c \\ 1 = (6 \times 1) + c \\ 1 = 6 + c \\ c = 1 - 6 = - 5[/tex]

therefore:

Answers

The stacked boxes would be 2.72 feet tall

The height of the stacked box is the sum of the lengths of the two boxes

1 4/11 is a mixed number and it has to be converted to a decimal

A mixed number is a number that has a whole number and a proper fraction.

A proper fraction is a fraction is which the numerator is less than the denominator.

The whole number is 1 and the proper fraction is 4/11

To convert to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. Add this number to the whole number

4/11 = 0.36

1 + 0.36 = 1.36 feet

Height of the stacked boxes = 1.36 + 1.36 = 2.72 feet

Find the value of X ​

Answers

Answer:

x = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, you need to use trigonometry (sin, cosine, tangent).  

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Tangent = opposite/adjacent

We need to use tangent in this case because 10 is the opposite side from the 57° angle, and x is right next to it, making it adjacent.  So, our equation would look like this:

tan (57)° = 10/x

Multiply both sides by x

x (tan (57)°) = 10

Divide both sides by tan (57)°

10 / tan (57)° = 6.49408 = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two angles measures and one side. Notice the given angle and the side that is opposite to that given angle is given. We need to find side x. But can we also find the angle opposite of the side we are trying to find. Yes we can

Remeber that triangles interior angles add up to 180.

Remeber that triangles interior angles add up to 180.One angle measure 90 and the other measure is 57 so

[tex]90 + 57 + x = 180[/tex]

[tex]x = 33[/tex]

So the angle opposite of the side we are trying to find is 33.

Since we know two angles and two sides that are opposite of those two angles respectively, we can use what is called Law of Sines

[tex] \frac{b}{ \sin(b) } = \frac{c}{ \sin(c) } [/tex]

where the numerator are the side measures, and the denominator are the angle measures.

Plug in the respectively values. Angle 57 is opposite of 10 and Angle 33 is opposite of x.

[tex] \frac{10}{ \sin(57) } = \frac{x}{ \sin(33) } [/tex]

Multiply both sides by sin 33 to isolate x.

We get

[tex]x = 6.494[/tex]

Round if needed

In other words, apply law of sines when you have two angles and two sides that are opposite of those angles respectively.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the first one is incorrect because the way negative numbers are ordered is incorrect it should be "-3, -2, -1"

the middle one is correct because the pattern is consistent and the order of the numbers are correct

the third one is incorrect because the pattern doesn't match "-15" isn't counting by twos 15 isn't an even number

hope I helped ❤

Answer: The 2nd number line is correct

Explanation:

The first number line is incorrect because the -1, -2, -3 should be reversed to get -3, -2, -1. It's reversed because the negatives are a mirror image of the positive counterpart.

The second number line is correct. Each number shown is separated with a gap size of 20. This gap size stays the same throughout the number line.

The third number line is incorrect. The gap from -15 to -12 is 3 units, while the gap from -12 to -10 is 2 units. We see that the gap size isn't the same through the entire number line.

So to summarize: the gap size must be the same and the numbers must be written in the correct order.
