A 17 foot ladder is placed on a wall. The base of the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the wall. How far up the wall does the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer 1
The correct answer is 23
Answer 2

Answer:

16.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the ladder and the wall form a right angle triangle with sides a, b, and c. Remember that side c is the hypoteneuse, which is formed by the ladder in this case. the choice of which side is a and b is arbitrary. Solve for the missing side using pythagorean theorem.

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2\\b^2=c^2-a^2\\b^2=17^{2}-5^{2}\\b^2=264\\b=\sqrt{264}\\b=16.25[/tex]

where side b is the height on the wall which the ladder reaches.

Personal Statement
Please include a personal statement about why you are applying and what you feel you can contribute to the program. Your statement should be a minimum of 500 words and include the following information: Why would you like to attend this Oxbridge program? Please tell us about your academic and extracurricular interests. Be sure to include your current, unweighted grade point average (GPA) or your school's equivalent. What interests you about the Major and/or Minor/Workshop courses you intend to pursue? What do you feel you will contribute to the program? Feel free to share any additional details that you feel may help our Admissions Team understand why you are a good fit for this program.

so can someone help me cause I'm not sure how to write this on a way that is convincing​

Answers

Well, as it says, your first statement needs to explain what interests you about the program.

If you feel you need multiple paragraphs, let the first be an introduction, around 4 or 5 sentences. Include, possibly what pushed you to apply for this program, what you're looking forward to, and a reason for them to hire you. You can add a thesis statement of sorts if that helps (a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of a paper). The first paragraph can be short, it doesn't need to be too in-depth. You can talk more about that later in your statement.

The body paragraphs must include your goals and extracurricular interests (what courses would you like to take and why?).

As it states, you must list your GPA, what interests you about the Major and/or Minor/Workshop courses, and what you can contribute (you can build off of what you said in your first paragraph here).

It is very important to share additional details you think are important, such as accomplishments you are proud of, for example.

A conclusion would be nice, a short and sweet wrap-up of your overall statement (not too long).

Remember, the name of the game is to sound confident and prove to them that you are in fact a good fit for the program! Good luck! Stay focused ^^

For what value of x would these two equations have the same value? y = 45 + 20x y = 30 + 26x

Answers

Answer:

x=2.5 For both equations to be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

45+20x=30+26x

Subtract 45 from each sides.

20x=-15+26x

Subtract 26x

-6x=-15

x=2.5

Check:

45+20(2.5)=30+26(2.5)

45+50=30+65

Given

3(2x + 4) = - 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

2x + 4 = - 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 3

Answers

When looking at the following expression, we can tell that it has no rational roots. However, it does have zeros at:

t = -0.45, 2.16, 12.29.

When thinking of the cubic curves you know that p(t) < 0 for 2.16 < t < 12.29. Meaning the team took a loss in years 3-12.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{I = 0.22 \ amperes}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From above:

let assume that;

The current is [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] ampere when resistance is 240 ohms.

Now, to find the current when R = 540 ohms.

SO; if [tex]I \ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{R}[/tex]

[tex]I \ =\ \dfrac{k}{R}[/tex] where k = constant

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2} \ =\ \dfrac{k}{240}[/tex]

[tex]2k = 240[/tex]

[tex]k = \dfrac{240}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k = 120[/tex]

Thus; the constant = 120

So; when R = 540 ohms

then the current will be:

[tex]I = \dfrac{k}{R}[/tex]

[tex]I = \dfrac{120}{540}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{I = 0.22 \ amperes}[/tex]

Answer:

82 (degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-2+3x+7=180=7x+5...175=7x...x=175/7... x=25

This is both angles combined which we know adds up to half of the entire quadrilateral (180 degrees). Then solve.

3(25) +7=82 which is equal to f

Mr samuel built a circular fenced-in section for some of his animals the section has a circumference of 55. What is the approximate area in square meters of the section? Use 22/7 for pie

Answers

Answer:

240.6 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr samuel built a circular fenced-in section for some of his animals the section has a circumference of 55. What is the approximate area in square meters of the section? Use 22/7 for pie

Step 1

We have to find the radius of the circular fence

The circumference of a circle = 2πr

Circumference = 55m

Hence:

55m = 2 × 22/7 × r

55 = 44/7

r = 55 ÷ 44/7

r = 55 × 7/55

r = 8.75m

Step 2

We find the approximate area in square meters of the section.

Area of a circle = πr²

Area of the circle = 22/7 × 8.75²

Area of the circle = 240.625 m²

Approximately = 240.6 m²

Therefore, the approximate area in square meters of the section is 240.6m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation for X

Substitute the given value of x into the equation 5x + 8y = -1

5(-5/3+4/3y)+8y=-1

Solve the equation for Y

y=-1/2

Substitute the given value of y into the equation x = -5 / 3 + 4 / 3y

x=-5/3+4/3×1/2

Solve the equation for X

x=-1

The system solution is the computer pair

(x,y)=(-1,1/2)

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of line formula:

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

m = slope

c = y-intercept

1) find m

slope formula:

[tex]m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]

take 2 coordinates from the given graph and substitute the values into the slope formula

i) (-1,0)

[tex]x _{1} = - 1[/tex]

[tex]y_{1} = 0[/tex]

ii) (3,2)

[tex]x_{2} = 3[/tex]

[tex]y_{2} = 2[/tex]

substitute the values into the slope formula

[tex]m = \frac{2 - 0}{3 - ( - 1)} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2}{4} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

2) find the half equation of the line by substituting the value of m into the equation of line formula

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x + c[/tex]

3) find c by substituting either coordinate into the half equation

(3,2)

x = 3

y = 2

[tex]2 = \frac{1}{2} (3) + c[/tex]

[tex]2 = \frac{3}{2} + c[/tex]

[tex]2 - \frac{3}{2} = c[/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{2} = c [/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

4) find equation of line by substituting the value of c into the half equation

A square has the vertices at (- 2, 6), (6, 1), (1, - 7) , and (- 7, - 2) . At what point do the diagonals of the square intersect?

Answers

Answer:

Intersection point is: (-1/2, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice from the attached image of the points on the plane, that opposite vertices are for example:

(-2, 6) and (1, -7), and we know that in a square, the diagonals intersect dividing themselves in equal parts. So what we need to find is the midpoint of the segment that joins (-2, 6) and (1, -7) to find where the diagonals intersect.

We use the formula for the midpoint:

x-midpoint = (x1 + x2) / 2

y-midpoint = (y1 + y2) / 2

In the case of the points (-2, 6) and (1, -7) these become:

x-midpoint = (-2 + 1) /2 = -1/2

y-midpoint = (6 + -7) / 2 = -1/2
