The length of a slide on a swing set is 10 ft. The
distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the slide
is 2 ft more than the height of the ladder. Find the height of
the ladder.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let height of ladder be x

so if height of ladder is x then the distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the slide is x+2

Assuming this is a right angle triangle, the slide is the longest lenght (c)

so

x²+(x+2)²=10²

x²+x²+4x+4=100

2x²+4x+4=100

2x²+4x+4-100=0

2x²+4x-96=0

2(x²+2x-48)=0

x²+2x-48=0 -- Factor

(x+8)(x-6)=0

x=-8 and x=6

since height cannot be a negative number

height of ladder is 6 cm

Answer 2

The base length is 8 feet. Then the height of the triangle will be 6 feet.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The length of a slide on a swing set is 10 ft.

The distance from the base of the ladder to the base of the slide is 2 ft more than the height of the ladder.

Let x be the length of the height of the triangle. Then the base of the triangle will be (x + 2).

10² = (x + 2)² + x²

100 = x² + 4x + 4 + x²

96 = 2x² + 4x

48 = x² + 2x

0 = x² + 2x - 48

0 = (x - 6)(x + 8)

x = 6, -8

Then the base length is 6 ft. Then the height of the triangle will be

B = x + 2

B = 6 + 2

B  = 8 ft

x=-5 and y= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To eliminate x, add up both equations

9y= 36

divide both sides by 9

y=36/9

y= 8

To eliminate y, multiply the first equation by 8

-16x + 8y = 112

2x+ 8y= 22

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

-18x = 90

Divide both sides by -18

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

Explanation:

For each point, multiply each x,y coordinate by 0.25 (the scale factor) to dilate the preimage to the image. This will shrink the image because the positive scale factor is less than 1.

So for instance, point J(3,2) will have this scratch work

3*(0.25) = 0.752*(0.25) = 0.5

meaning J(3,2) moves to J ' (0.75, 0.5)

Side notes:

0.25 = 1/40.5 = 2/4 = 1/20.75 = 3/4this trick only works if the center of dilation is the origin

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To use a percent you must change it to a decimal.

8% is .08

To find 8% of 25, we use multiplication.

.08 × 25

= 2

In case you cannot use a calculator or you want to be very quick about this, or just do a simple check... you can actually reverse the number (money, amount, etc) and the percent.

25% of 8 is not bad for doing mental math. 25% is a quarter, or 1/4 of 8 which again is 2.

Answer:

y = -6

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = -13

-x - 2y = 11

Sum the equations:

-x -x = -2x

+2y - 2y = 0

-13 + 11 = -2

then

-2x = -2

x = -2/-2

x = 1

from the first eq.

-x + 2y = -13

-1 + 2y = -13

2y = -13 + 1

2y = -12

y = -12/2

y = -6

check:

from the second eq.

-x -2y = 11

-1 -(2*-6) = 11

-1 -(-12) = 11

-1 + 12 = 11

What do you know about these two lines?

y = 6x - 1
y = -6x - 4

A: The lines are parallel because their slopes are the same.
B: The lines are perpendicular because the slopes are opposites reciprocals
C: The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular, they just intersect.

Answers

Answer: Choice C

Explanation:

Refer to the y = mx+b form

m = slopeb = y intercept

The slopes are the only thing we focus on. For the equations y = 6x-1 and y = -6x-4, the slopes are 6 and -6 in that order.

The slopes are not equal, so the lines aren't parallel.

The slopes aren't opposite reciprocals of one another, so they aren't perpendicular either. An example of an opposite reciprocal pairing would be 6 and -1/6. Any pair of nonzero opposite reciprocal slopes always multiply to -1.

Therefore, the two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular, they just intersect.

Try to find the slope

Answers

Answer:

-11/14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope =(y2-y1)/ (x2 - x1)

Here y2 = 7 and y1 = -4, x2 = -7 and x1 = 7.

So slope

= (7 - (-4)/ -7-7)

= -11/14.

a prisms base has a perimeter of 12cm and a height of 2 cm. the area of the base was 5cm. what is the surface area of the prism.

Answers

Answer:  34 square cm

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

Explanation:

For any prism, there are two congruent bases opposite one another. In other words, the bases are identical polygons with the same area. Each base is 5 square cm. So far, that accounts for 5+5 = 10 square cm of surface area. Let A = 10 as we'll use it later.

The perimeter is 12 cm and the height is 2 cm. It turns out that the lateral surface area is found by multiplying the two items. This is because the perimeter is made up of the lengths of the sides of the base, which when multiplied by the height, will give the area of each rectangular side panel.

So the lateral surface area is 12*2 = 24 sq cm. Let B = 24.

Overall, the total surface area is A+B = 10+24 = 34 square cm

There is enough space for 26000 kg - 13200 kg = 12800 kg. Divide this by 60 and you get 213 and 1/3. You cannot put 1/3 of a crate, so it is 213 crates.
