Painters use ladders to paint on high buildings and often use the help of Pythagoras’ theorem to complete their work. The painter needs to determine how tall a ladder needs to be in order to safely place the base away from the wall so it won’t tip over. In this case the ladder itself will be the hypotenuse. Take for example a painter who has to paint a wall which is about 9 ft high. The painter has to put the base of the ladder 6 ft away from the wall to ensure it won’t tip. What will be the length of the ladder required by the painter to complete his work?

10.81

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 6^2 = c^2

81 + 36 = c^2

117 = c^2

10.81 = c

answer: i think one of the answer is $150 and $300?

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
