The bottom of a ladder leaning against a wall is 1.5 m from the bottom of the wall. The ladder is 5.5 m long. Find how high the top of the ladder is above the ground, correct to one decimal place.
A. 5.8 m
B. 5.7 m
C. 5.2 m
D. 5.3 m
Answers
Answer: D. 5.3 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder leaning against the wall causes it to forma right angle.
The right angle has two sides , which is the two legs, and the hypotenuse.
Using the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 , a and b are the two legs and c is the hypotenuse. In this case, a will be the wall, b will be 1.5 m and the ladder which is 5.5 m will be the hypotenuse.
Input the values for a and c to sole for b using the formula.
1.5^2 + b^2 = 5.5^2
2.25 + b^2 = 30.25
-2.25 -2.25
b^2 = 28
b = [tex]\sqrt{28}[/tex]
b = 5.2915 rounded to one decimal place is the same as rounding it to the nearest tenth, and 5.29 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.3.
Height of top of ladder above the ground that is resting on the wall, correct to one decimal place is 5.3 m
hence option D is correct.
According to Pythagoras theorem
In a right triangle
[tex]\rm H^2 = P^2 + B^2[/tex]
[tex]\rm P = \sqrt {H^2 - B^2 }.........(1)\\where \\H = Hypotenuse \; of \; right\; triangle\\B = Base\; of \; the \; right\; triangle \\P = Perpendicular \; of \; the\; right\; triangle[/tex]
In the given situation the the ladder forms the right triangle with the wall
Length of the ladder = 5.5 m
Length of the base of ladder from the wall = 1.5 m
Let K be the height of top of ladder above the ground that is resting on the wall.
Hence from equation (1) we can write
[tex]\rm K = \sqrt{5.5^2 - 1.5^2} = \sqrt{28} = 5.291 \approx \bold{5.3}[/tex] m
Height of top of ladder above the ground that is resting on the wall, correct to one decimal place is 5.3 m
hence option D is correct.

I have found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Nothing.
Nelson Mandela said: “There is no passion to be found playing small, in settling
for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
I am sure your experiences in school… in applying to college… in picking your
major…in doing what you want to do with life, people have told you to make
sure you’ve something to “fall back on”.
But if I am going to fall, I don’t want to fall back on anything, except my faith.
I want to fall forward. At least I figure that way I will see what I am about to hit.
Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I
didn’t either, because 1,001 was the light bulb.
Fall forward.
Every failed experiment is one step closer to success. You have got to take risks.
And I am sure you’ve probably heard that before. But I want to talk about why
it is so important.
You will fail at some point in life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass
yourself. There is no doubt about it. That’s not a traditional message for a
graduation ceremony.
But, hey, I am telling you- embrace it. Because it is inevitable.
And I should know; in the acting business you fail all the time.
Early in my career, I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical. A perfect role
for me, I thought- except for the fact that I can’t sing. So, I start to sing and
they are not saying anything. I think I must be getting better, so I start getting
into it. The director cuts me off saying I will be hearing from him.
I assumed I didn’t get the job.
But the next part of the audition, the acting part, he called me back, though I
didn’t get that too.
But here’s the thing. I didn’t quit. I didn’t fall back.
I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition, and the next audition,
and the next one. I prayed and I prayed, but I continued to fail, and failed and
failed.
But it didn’t matter because if you try long enough you’ll catch your break.

D. 11 < x < 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
The third side x is between 11 and 19 cm.
Consider sides AB (length 4) and BC (length 15) of the triangle.
Consider the angle between AB and BC is slightly less than 180 degrees. To get from point A to point C, we have to travel almost the entire length of A to C, which is from A to B and then B to C, so a bit less than 19 cm.
Consider the angle between AB and BC is slightly more than 0 degrees. To get from point A to point C, we subtract the length of AB (because we're already further along BC), so 15 - 4, a bit greater than 11.
A sporting goods store has a sale on soccer balls: if you buy two soccer balls at the regular price, you get a third soccer ball for $1. Coach John bought 24 identical soccer balls during this sale for $136. What is the regular price for one of these soccer balls?
Answers
Answer:
The regular price of the balls is $8
Step-by-step explanation:
The sporting goods store sales promotion is as follows;
The price of the third ball after buying two balls at regular price = $1.00
The price of the number of balls Coach John pays for the balls he bought = $136
To buy 24 balls, we have;
2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1
Therefore;
The number of balls bought at regular price = The sum of the 2s = 16 balls
The number of balls bought for $1 = 24 - 16 = 8 balls
Let x represent the regular price of the balls, we have;
16 × x + 8 = 136
16·x = 138 - 8 = 128
x = 128/16 = 8
The regular price of the balls = x = $8.

Step-by-step explanation:
$210 * (100%+12%)

Hope this helped!
Answer:
The final answer is $470.40.
Step-by-step explanation:
210 x 2 = $420
To find the final price including tax, we must find 12% of $420.
420 x 0.12 = $50.4
Now, we must finalize the price by adding the tax to the price without tax.
$420 + $50.4 = $470.40
Therefore, the final cost for the hotel room is $470.40.

Answers
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Adel : Claire = 7 : 4
Let Adel be = A; &
Let Claire be = C
A: C = 7 : 4
[tex]\dfrac{A}{C} =\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]
7C = 4A
[tex]C = \dfrac{4A}{7}[/tex] --- (1)
When Adel gave 68 beads to claire, we have:
C + 68 = 25:41
[tex]\dfrac{A}{C+68}= \dfrac{25}{41}[/tex]
25(C + 68) = 41A
C + 68 = [tex]\dfrac{41}{25}A[/tex]
[tex]C = \dfrac{41}{25}A - 68[/tex] --- (2)
Equating (1) and (2) together;
[tex]\dfrac{4 * A}{7} = \dfrac{41 *A}{25} - 68[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{4 * A}{7}-\dfrac{41 *A}{25} = - 68[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{100A - 287 A}{175} =- 68[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{-187A}{175} = -68[/tex]
- 187 A = 175 × (-68)
-187 A = - 11900
A = - 11900/ -187
A ≅ 64
From; [tex]C = \dfrac{4A}{7}[/tex]
[tex]C = \dfrac{4*64}{7}[/tex]

Find an equation of the line through (3,5) and parallel to y = 3x -7. Write the equation using function notation
f(x)=__
Answers
Given:
Equation of line is [tex]y=3x-7[/tex].
To find:
The equation of line which is parallel line to [tex]y=3x-7[/tex] and passes through (3,5) in function notation.
Solution:
Slope intercept form of a line is
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
On comparing the equation [tex]y=3x-7[/tex] with slope intercept form, we get
[tex]m=3[/tex]
So, slope of given line is 3.
Slope of parallel lines are same. Thus, the slope of parallel line is also 3.
Point slope form of a line is
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
where, m is slope.
The parallel line passes through (3,5) with slope 3. So, the equation of line is
[tex]y-5=3(x-3)[/tex]
[tex]y-5=3x-9[/tex]
Add 5 on both sides.
[tex]y=3x-9+5[/tex]
[tex]y=3x-4[/tex]
Function notation of this equation is
[tex]f(x)=3x-4[/tex]
Therefore, the equation equation in function notation is [tex]f(x)=3x-4[/tex].
