A building is 2 ft from a 12 ft fence that surrounds the property. A worker wants to wash a window in the building 17 ft from the ground. He plans to place a ladder over the fence so it rests against the building. He decides he should place the ladder 8 ft from the fence for stability. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how long of a ladder will he need?

Answers

Answer 1
the ladder would have to be about 19.7 feet tall
A Building Is 2 Ft From A 12 Ft Fence That Surrounds The Property. A Worker Wants To Wash A Window In
Answer 2

Using Pythagoras theorem,  the ladder must be 19.7ft long.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“.

Perpendicular = height of the window from the ground = 17ft

Base = distance of the foot of the ladder from the base of the building = 10ft

Hypotenuse = [tex]\sqrt{perpendicular^{2} +base^{2} }[/tex]

H = [tex]\sqrt{17^{2}+10^{2} }[/tex] = 19.4ft

Length of ladder  = 19.4ft

a male lion needs as much as 15 pounds of food each day or 105 pounds of food each week.how much does a lion need in one year.
I'm just checking i have the answer i just want to check thx

Answers

Final answer:

If a male lion eats 15 pounds of food each day or 105 pounds each week, it would need about 5460 pounds of food in a year. We arrive at this by multiplying the weekly amount (105 pounds) by the number of weeks in a year (52 weeks).

Explanation:

The question is asking how much food a male lion needs in a year if it eats 15 pounds of food each day, or 105 pounds per week. If we want to know how many pounds of food a lion needs for an entire year, we would need to multiply that weekly amount by the number of weeks in a year. There are 52 weeks in a year. So, we take 105 pounds of food per week and multiply it by 52.

Calculation: 105 × 52 = 5460

So, a male lion needs about 5460 pounds of food in a year.

Anna buys groceries for her family.hamburger meat is $3.38 per pound sweet potatoes are$0.79. Each and hamburger rolls are $2.30a bag.if Anna buys 3 pounds of meat 5 sweet potatoes and 1 bag of hamburger rolls what will she pay in all for the groceries

Answers

2.30 x 1 = 2.30 for the hamburger rolls
3.38 x 3 = 10.14 for the hamburger meat
.79 x 5 = 3.95 for the sweet potatoes

3.95 + 2.30 + 10.14 = 16.39$ is her total.

To further explain this, and/or to find answers to similar problems like this, you take the amount per pound or whatever unit of measurement (let’s say this variable is Z) and then you take the amount that they are getting per said unit ( let’s say Y) thus an equation that can be used to find problems like this is Z x Y.

The total amount of money paid by Anna is [tex]\fbox{\bf \$16.39}[/tex].

Further explanation:

Given:

Anna buys 3 pounds of hamburger meat.

Anna buys 5 sweet potatoes.

Anna buys 1 bag of hamburger rolls.

The cost of hamburger meat is $3.38 per pound.

The cost of 1 sweet potato is $0.79.

The cost of 1 bag hamburger is $2.30.

Procedure:

1. First find the money spent on hamburger meat, sweet potatoes, and hamburger rolls.

2. Now add all the money to obtain the total money spent on the groceries.

Calculation:

The money spend by Anna on the hamburger meat is obtained as follows:

[tex]\boxed{3.38\times3=\$ 10.14}[/tex]

The money spend by Anna on the sweet potato is obtained as follows:

[tex]\boxed{0.79\times5=\$ 3.95}[/tex]

The money spend by Anna on the hamburger roll is obtained as follows:

[tex]\boxed{2.30\times1=\$ 2.30}[/tex]

Total money spent by Anna to buy all the groceries can be obtained by the sum of the amount of money spent on all the groceries.

Therefore the total money paid by Anna is obtained as,

\boxed{\$ \left( {10.14 + 3.95 + 2.30} \right) = \$ 16.39}.

Thus, the total amount of money paid by Anna is [tex]\fbox{\bf \$16.39}[/tex].

Answers

it is reasonable
to the budget

Answer:

Yes the budget is reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A bus service drives passengers between Milwaukee and Chicago every day for eight times each day.

The distance between the two cities is 89 miles.

So, total distance covered per day = [tex]89\times8=712[/tex] miles.

Total distance covered in 28 days = [tex]28\times712=19936[/tex] miles.

As give, The company's budget allows for 28,000 total miles for February.

So, yes the budget is reasonable, as it is less than 28000.

The sum of two numbers is 26. Four less than four times the smaller number is equal to the larger number x. Find the larger number.

Answers

Hey there!

This question just wants you to create an equation and solve. In this case, the larger number is equal to x. To find the smaller number, we would need to multiply x by 4 and subtract 4 from it. This means that the smaller number is equal to (4x – 4). You add the two numbers, x and (4x – 4), to get 26. Your final equation is:

x + (4x – 4) = 26

Now, just solve. 

x + 4x – 4 = 26
(5x – 4) + 4 = (26) + 4
(5x) ÷ 5 = (30) ÷ 5
x = 6

Finally, just plug in 6 for both numbers to get your answer. 

(6) + (4(6) – 4) = 26
6 + 20 = 26

Your two numbers are 6 and 20. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Final answer:

To find the larger number, two equations were formed based on the given problem and solved sequentially. The smaller number was found to be 6, and using this value, the larger number was determined to be 20.

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers is given as 26. This information forms our first equation: s + l = 26, where s is the smaller number and l is the larger number.

We are also told that four less than four times the smaller number is equal to the larger number. This gives us our second equation: 4s - 4 = l.

Now, we can use substitution to solve for the larger number. First, rewrite the second equation in terms of s: l = 4s - 4. Then, substitute this expression for l into the first equation: s + (4s - 4) = 26.

Solving for s, we combine like terms: 5s - 4 = 26. Then, we add 4 to both sides to isolate the terms with s: 5s = 30. Dividing both sides by 5 gives us the smaller number: s = 6.

Finally, we find the larger number by substituting s back into the second equation: l = 4(6) - 4. This operation gives us the larger number l = 24 - 4, hence l = 20.

The larger number is 20.
