Marvin has a 27-foot ladder. Safety standards dictate that the base of a 27-foot ladder should be
placed 7 feet from a vertical wall. How far above the
ground will the top of the ladder be on the wall, in
feet? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

15.1657508881 or 15.17

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you are supposed to use the hypotenuse of a right triangle equation

a2+b2=c2

Let's begin! 27 feet is the hypotenuse (the longest part of a right triangle)(c)

so 7*7 is equal to 49

and 27*27 is equal to 279

Now you put the numbers back into the equation

49+b2=279, Now let's solve for b

279-49=230 b2=230

230 squared is 15.1657508881

Hope this makes sense!

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
