A 15-foot ladder rest against a wall, The base of the ladder is 8 feet from the wall.

How far is the top of the ladder from the ground, Enter your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.

Can someone help I’ve been stuck on this question for almost a hour (please help).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Its a pythagerous question question

so if the ladder is 8 feet from the wall the base is 8

and the ladder is 15 foot and is the hypotemuse

so 15^2-8^2=161^2

The root of 161 = 12.69 rounded to 2 dp

so 12.7

Answer 2

The distance far the top of the ladder from the ground is 12.7 feet

What is Pythagoras Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

We are given that;

Length= 15foot

Base= 8feet

Now,

In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, and the base and the height are the legs. So, we can write:

15^2 = 8^2 + h^2

where h is the height of the ladder from the ground. Solving for h, we get:

h^2 = 15^2 - 8^2

h^2 = 225 - 64

h^2 = 161

h = sqrt(161)

h = 12.688

Therefore, by  Pythagoras theorem the answer will be 12.7 feet.

I'm having difficulties with this haha please help :(

Answers

If the function is h(t) = - 4.9t² + 39.2t + 5. Then the maximum height will be 83.4 meters.

What is differentiation?

The rate of change of a function with respect to the variable is called differentiation. It can be increasing or decreasing.

The function is given as

h(t) = - 4.9t² + 39.2t + 5

Then the differentiation of the function will be

h'(t) = - 9.8t + 39.2

For the maximum height, put h'(t) equals zero. Then we have

              h'(t) = 0

- 9.8t + 39.2 = 0

                  t = 4

Then the maximum height will be

h(t) = - 4.9(4)² + 39.2 x 4 + 5

h(t) = - 4.9 x 16 + 39.2 x 4 + 5

h(t) = - 78.4 + 156.8 + 5

h(t) = 83.4 meters

Answer:

Your first step in solving the system would be to substitute the value of a variable into one of the equations

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x = 2y + 2 and y = -1/3x + 4, so we could insert one of these values as the variable in one of the equations

If we were to insert -1/3x + 4 for y, our new equation would be:

x = 2(-1/3x + 4) + 2 (as you can see, the value of y was inserted into the equation)

Perimeter and Area Geometry homework! {Jim Thompson}

Part A

The yard is a quadrilateral with the following corner points

(0,0)(0,40)(40,50)(50,0)

I'll label those points A through D in the order presented above.

From A to B is 40 feet since 40-0 = 40. We can subtract the y coordinates because the x coordinates are the same.

In short: side AB is 40 feet long.

The length of side BC is not as simple. We'll need the distance formula.

[tex]B = (x_1,y_1) = (0,40) \text{ and } C = (x_2, y_2) = (40,50)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0-40)^2 + (40-50)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-40)^2 + (-10)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{1600 + 100}\\\\d = \sqrt{1700}\\\\d = \sqrt{100*17}\\\\d = \sqrt{100}*\sqrt{17}\\\\d = 10\sqrt{17}\\\\d \approx 41.2311\\\\[/tex]

Segment BC is exactly [tex]10\sqrt{17}[/tex] feet long, which is about 41.2311 feet.

Use the distance formula again to find the distance from point C(40,50) to D(50,0)

[tex]C = (x_1,y_1) = (40,50) \text{ and } D = (x_2, y_2) = (50,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(40-50)^2 + (50-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10)^2 + (50)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{100 + 2500}\\\\d = \sqrt{2600}\\\\d = \sqrt{100*26}\\\\d = \sqrt{100}*\sqrt{26}\\\\d = 10\sqrt{26}\\\\d \approx 50.9902\\\\[/tex]

Lastly, the side AD is exactly 50 feet because 50-0 = 50. We can subtract x coordinates because the y coordinates are the same. Use of the distance formula from A to D should show a result of 50 exactly.

We have these side lengths:

AB = 40

BC = 41.2311 (approximate)

CD = 50.9902 (approximate)

AD = 50

Add up those four sides and we'll get the perimeter of the quadrilateral.

AB+BC+CD+AD = 40+41.2311+50.9902+50 = 182.2213

Answer: About 182.2213 feet

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

Part B

The garden is a rectangle that is 15 feet across horizontally (since subtracting x coordinates gives us 25-10 = 15) and 20 feet vertically (since subtracting y coordinates gives us 35-15 = 20).

This 15 by 20 rectangle has an area of 15*20 = 300 square feet.

The deck is a trapezoid with the parallel bases of 20 feet up top and 35 feet down below. Like before, we subtract x coordinates to find the horizontal distance (since the y coordinates are the same). The height of this trapezoid is 15 feet. Subtract the y coordinates to find the height.

The area of the trapezoid is

A = h*(b1+b2)/2

A = 15*(20+35)/2

A = 412.5

That decimal value is exact.

Add it onto the area of the rectangle

412.5+300 = 712.5

Answer: 712.5 square feet exactly

A 5kg sample of plutonium-239 has a half-life of 21,400 years by emitting a 5.157 mev (million or mega electron volts) alpha particles. assume that the rate of decay is constant, how long will it take for the sample to degrade to 4.5kg?

Answers

Using an exponential function, it is found that it will take 3,252 years for the sample to degrade to 4.5kg.

What is the exponential function for the amount of a substance?

It is given by:

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{-kt}[/tex]

In which:

P is the initial amount. k is the decay rate, as a decimal.

The half-life is of 21,400 years, hence, A(21400) = 0.5P, and this is used to find k.

[tex]A(t) = Pe^{-kt}[/tex]

[tex]0.5P = Pe^{-21400k}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-21400k} = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-21400k}} = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]-21400k = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]k = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{21400}}[/tex]

k = -0.00003239005

Hence, considering the initial mass is of P = 5 kg, the amount after t years is given by:

[tex]A(t) = 5e^{-0.00003239005t}[/tex]

The amount will be of 4.5 kg at t for which A(t) = 4.5, hence:

[tex]4.5 = 5e^{-0.00003239005t}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-0.00003239005t} = 0.9[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-0.00003239005t}} = \ln{0.9}[/tex]
