The base of 40-foot ladder is 8 feet from the wall. How high is the ladder on the wall (round to the nearest foot)

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The base of 40-foot ladder is 8 feet from the wall.

To find:

How high is the ladder on the wall (round to the nearest foot).

Solution:

Ladder makes a right angle triangle with wall and ground.

We have,

Length of ladder (hypotenuse)= 40 foot

Base = 8 foot

We need to find the perpendicular to get the height of the ladder on the wall.

Let h be the height of the ladder on the wall.

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2[/tex]

[tex](40)^2=(8)^2+(h)^2[/tex]

[tex]1600=64+h^2[/tex]

[tex]1600-64=h^2[/tex]

[tex]1536=h^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides.

[tex]\pm \sqrt{1536}=h[/tex]

[tex]\pm 39.1918358=h[/tex]

Height cannot be negative. Round to the nearest foot.

[tex]h\approx 39[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the ladder on the wall is 39 foot.

Answers

Answer: x = 40

The equation you would write would be 2x + x + 60 = 180.

This is because you have to add all the angles inside the triangle in order to get 180°. Then, you solve the equation.

2x + x + 60 = 180
Add all the like terms.
3x + 60 = 180
Subtract 60 on both sides.
3x = 120
Divide 3 on both sides.
x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. so,

2x+15 + 3x+5 = 180

5x+20=180

Subtract 20 from both sides

5x=160

Divide both sides by 5

x=32

Plug that into 2x+15, F = 64+15 = 79

for 3x+5, G = 96 +5 = 101

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment lists points on each graph.

a) The equation for a horizontal line is ...

  y = constant

Here, the output value is always 5, so that is the constant in the equation:

  y = 5

__

b) The graph is a straight line through the origin, so the equation is that of a proportion:

  y = kx . . . . . for some constant of proportionality k

Using the point (x, y) = (-4, 2), we can find k from ...

  k = y/x = 2/(-4) = -1/2

The equation of the line is ...

  y = -1/2x

__

c) The graph has a rise of 3 units for each run of 1 unit, so the slope is ...

  m = rise/run = 3/1 = 3

The y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) is b = -2. Then the slope-intercept form of the equation is ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

  y = 3x - 2

_____

You can check that the equation is satisfied by each of the points listed. For example, ...

  a) in = -4, out = y = 5 . . . matches table

  b) in = 2, out = y = -1/2(2) = -1 . . . matches table

  c) in = 1, out = y = 3(1) -2 = 1 . . . matches table

(You can check the other table values.)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A sector of a circle is the portion or region of a circle enclosed by two radii and an arc. The perimeter of a the sector of a circle is given by the formula:

Perimeter of sector = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360} *2\pi r[/tex] + 2r

Where θ is the angle which forms the sector and r is the radius of the circle.

Given that Perimeter of sector = 57.32 cm, radius (r) = 14 cm, we can find the angle θ using:

Answer:

[tex]Total = 20v + 40x + 80y[/tex]

[tex]Total = 20(v + 2x + 4y)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The options were not given,en but the question can still be solved.

Given

[tex]Daises = \$ x[/tex]

[tex]Magnolias = \$ y[/tex]

[tex]Vase = \$ v[/tex]

Required

Determine the cost of 20 vases, 40 daises and 80 magnolias

If 1 vase costs $v, then

[tex]20\ vases = 20 * v[/tex]

[tex]20\ vases = 20v[/tex]

If 1 daises costs $x, then

[tex]40\ daises = 40 * x[/tex]

[tex]40\ daises = 40x[/tex]

If 1 magnolias costs $y, then

[tex]80\ magnolias = 80 * y[/tex]

[tex]80\ magnolias = 80y[/tex]

[tex]Total = 20v + 40x + 80y[/tex]

Another expression that represents the total is to factorize the expression.

[tex]Total = 20(v + 2x + 4y)[/tex]

Step 1, all the exponents are increased by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first incorrect step occurred in Step 1, where all the exponents were increased by 4.

This is mathematically incorrect due to exponential rules. When distributing exponents inside parentheses, we have to multiply the existing exponents inside the parentheses by the exponent outside the parentheses.

For example, (x²)³ is not x²⁺³, but rather, x⁽²⁾⁽³⁾.

We multiply the exponents instead of adding them together.

Therefore, the correct Step 1 should multiply all the variables' exponents by 4.

Steps 2 and 3 are correct since we do add the exponents when multiplying exponents with the same base, and we do subtract exponents with the same base when dividing.
