a 10 foot ladder is leaning against a wall if the ladder reaches 8 feet up the wall how far is the base of the ladder from the wall.

A 10 Foot Ladder Is Leaning Against A Wall If The Ladder Reaches 8 Feet Up The Wall How Far Is The Base

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This requires a little use of the Pythagorean Theorem.

The length of the leaning ladder is the hypothenuse of the right triangle formed by the wall and the ladder.

Hyp. = 10 ft Say this is C

The ladder height up the wall = 8 ft. Say this A.

We need to find the other leg, say B ,of the right triangle.

C^2 = A^2 + B^2

10^2 = 8^2 + B^2

100 = 64 + B^2 => B^2 = 100 - 64 = 36

B^2 = 36 so, B = 6 The positive square root since length is positive.

B = 6 ft This is how far the ladder bottom is from the wall.

Double Check: 10^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 or 100 = 64 + 36 Ok. As, it should. This check could be done mentally.

In addition, this is a Pythagorean Triple. (6, 8, 10).

Answer: 6 ft.

What is the solution to the equation below? ​

Answers

Answer:

The solutions are (2,0) and (3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The common denominator is (x - 2)(x - 4) which comes to x^2 - 6x + 8 which is exactly what the denominator on the right hand side is.

2x (x - 4) - (x+3)(x - 2)      =    - 4x

=============                   ========

(x -2)(x - 4)                            x^2 - 6x - 8

Multiply both sides by x^2 -6x - 8

2x(x - 4) - (x^2 + x - 6 ) = - 4x       Remove the brackets

2x^2 - 8x - x^2 - x + 6  = - 4x       Combine like terms on the left

2x^2 - x^2 - 8x - x + 6 =  - 4x

x^2 - 9x + 6 = - 4x                        Add 4x from both sides

x^2 - 9x + 4x + 6 = 0

x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0

This factors into

(x - 2) and (x - 3)

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

x - 3  = 0

x = 3

The solid triangular prism shown below is made from metal . The prism is melted down and the metal is used to create a solid cube. Find the side length of the cube. For the triangle, the base is 9cm, Height is 4cm, and Length is 12cm.

Answers

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

base is 9cm, Height is 4cm, and Length is 12cm.

Volume of triangular prism :

V = 1/2 * base * height * length

V = 1/2 * 9 * 4 * 12

V = 9 * 2 * 12

V = 216 cm³

Volume of a cube = a³

Where , a = side length

If 216cm³ is melted to form a cube

Then ;

a = 216^1/3

a = 6 cm

HELP ME ASAP PLS !!!

Answers

Answer:

64 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent is perpendicular to the normal. In case of circle the normal is the radius which passes from the center of the circle.

Here Angle BAC = 90 degree (as the angle between the tangent and normal)

Angle BAC = 26 degree,

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degree,

So,

angle BAC + angle ABC + angle ACB = 180 degree

26 degree + angle ABC + 90 degree = 180 degree

angle ABC = 64 degree

China consumes 4 x 10^9 tons of coal, while japan about 2 x 10^8 tons of coal. Approximately how many times the amount of that japan consumed did china consumed

Answers

Answer:

20 times

Step-by-step explanation:

This is calculated as:

The number of coal China consumes ÷ The number of coal Japan consumes

The number of coal China consumes =4 × 10⁹

The number of coal Japan consumes

= 2 × 10⁸

4 × 10⁹/2 × 10⁸

The number of birdhouses Ben can make varies directly with the amount of time he spends making the birdhouses. He can make 4 birdhouses in 1 1/2 hours. How many birdhouses can he make in 9 hours?

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

if he can make 4 birdhouses in 1 1/2 hours, 1 1/2 hours x 2 = 3. 8 birdhouses per 3 hours. 3 x 3 = 9 hours, 8 x 3 = 27

Answer:

24 birdhouses

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportional relationship.  y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.  We can determine k as follows:

4 birdhouses = k(1 1/2  hours), which leads to:

  4 birdhouses

------------------------- = 8/3 birdhouses/hr

    3/2 hours

In 9 hours, Ben can make (8/3)(9) birdhouses:  24 birdhouses

The tree diagram shows Leila's choices for dinner at a restaurant. How many possible dinner combinations exist?

Answers

Based on the tree diagram, there are a total of 12 possible dinner combinations for Leila.

Define combinations?

In mathematics, combinations are a way to count the number of ways to choose a subset of items from a larger set, where the order of the chosen items does not matter. The number of combinations is often denoted using the symbol "n choose k", where n is the total number of items and k is the number of items being chosen.

To see why, we can count the number of paths through the tree diagram. Starting at the top, there are 2 choices for the type of dips: Guacamole dip or Cheese dip. For each of these choices, there are 2 choices for the dessert : Burrito and Enchilada. Finally, for each main course, there are 2 choices for the main course: Chicken and Beef.

Multiplying the number of choices at each step, we get:

2 (choices for dips) x 2 (choices for dessert) x 2 (choices for main course) = 8 possible dinner combinations.

Therefore, there are 3 possible dinner combinations for Leila.

Step-by-step explanation:

62° + (7x + 14)° = (15x - 4)°

62° +7x + 14 = 15x - 4

15x - 7x = 62 + 14 + 4

a cylindrical pipe made of metal 3 m long is 3 cm if the internal radius of the pipe is 10 cm what is the volume of metal used in making the pipe​

Answers

Answer:

857.766cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Lenght = 3m

Internal radius r = 3m

External radius R= 10m

Volume of pipe= πr^2h

Volume of metal= External - Internal

Volume= πR^2h-πr^2h

Volume= πh(R^2-r^2)

Volume= 3.142*3(10^2-3^2)

Volume= 3.142*3(100-9)

Volume= 9.426*(91)

Volume= 857.766cm^3

Hence the volume of the metal is 857.766cm^3
