Upper A 4​-ft-tall fence runs parallel to the wall of a house at a distance of 8 ft. Find the length of the shortest ladder that

extends from the ground to the house without touching the fence. Assume the vertical wall of the house is 20 ft high and the horizontal ground extends 25 ft from the fence.

Answer:

Length of ladder = approximately 39 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formation is a right angle to and we are looking for the hypotenuse.

But first

The height = was of the house = 20ft

Total length = the 25ft extension+ the 8ft distance betwee the fence and the house

Total length= 25 +8 = 33ft

Length of the ladder = hypotenuse

Let length of the ladder be x

X² = 33² +20²

X² = 1089 + 400

X² = 1489

X= √1489

X= 38.59 ft

Length of ladder = approximately 39 ft

A. It is an experiment as the sales director is applying treatment ( the training ) to a group and recording the results.

B. I would have 250 sales representatives from each region take the training and 250 from each region to not take it so i can be able to see if it affects both regions differently. The representatives from each region would be chosen at random and the length of their training would be the same for all.

C. now you would only be able to have 200 people from each region train. this would lower the percentage of the impact the training had on the amount of sales ( if any) . For example, if the original 250 trained people in a region increased the sales in that region by 20 percent and 50 of those people ended up not actually training, the sales would have only increased by 16 percent.

D. correlational research is best to establish causality. for example, the amount of training the representatives got may affect how much they are able to sell. also the number of representatives trained may affect the amount sold

Which value represents |7.8|?
nika2105 [10]
Since absolute value is just taking the positive value of whatever you put in the function, it is 7.8 as well. Also, absolute value can be described as the distance from 0 on the number line. 7.8 is 7.8 "units" away from 0, thus meaning it is equal to 7.8.
