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

Yumi wants to make 12 cups of party mix using candies and nuts her budget require the party mix to cost her $1 29 per cup. The c
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Acording to the question,

Cost per cup = $1.29

Total number of cups = 12

Total cost of cups = 12 x 1.2 = $15.48

Cost of candies = $2.49 per cup

Total number of candies = x

Cost of nuts = $0.69 per cup

Total number of nuts = y

Equations :

x + y = 12    (because total cups of nuts and candies will be equal to 12)

2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48    (Total cost of the 12 cups should be 15.48)  

<u>Step 1 : Find x in terms of y</u>

x = 12 - y

<u>Step 2 : substitute x in terms of y from step 1 in the second equation</u>

2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48

2.49 ( 12 - y) + 0.69y = 15.48

29.88 - 2.49y + 0.69y = 15.48

-1.8y = -14.4

y = 14.4/1.8

y = 8

Step 3 : Find x

x + y = 12

x = 12 - y

x = 12- 8

x = 4

Thus,Yumi should use 4 cups of candies and 8 cups of nuts.

Daniel and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $10.15 worth of apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1.75 and e
guapka [62]

Answer: Daniel bought 3 apples and 7 bananas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of apples that Daniel bought.

Let y represent the number of bananas that Daniel bought.

He bought a total of 10 apples and bananas altogether. This means that

x + y = 10

Daniel and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $10.15 worth of apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1.75 and each banana costs $0.70. This means that

1.75x + 0.7y = 10.15 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 10 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.75(10 - y) + 0.7y = 10.15

17.5 - 1.75y + 0.7y = 10.15

- 1.75y + 0.7y = 10.15 - 17.5

- 1.05y = - 7.35

y = - 7.35/- 1.05

y = 7

x = 10 - y = 10 - 7

x = 3

Would apreciate if someone helped me..
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

a). x = 11

b). m∠DMC = 39°

c). m∠MAD = 66°

d). m∠ADM = 36°

e). m∠ADC = 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

a). In the figure attached,

m∠AMC = 3x + 6

and m∠DMC = 6x - 49

Since "in-center" of a triangle is a points where the bisectors of internal angles meet.

Therefore, MC is the angle bisector of angle AMD.

and m∠AMC ≅ m∠DMC

3x + 6 = 8x - 49

8x - 3x = 49 + 6

5x = 55

x = 11

b). m∠DMC = 8x - 49

                   = (8 × 11) - 49

                   = 88 - 49

                   = 39°

c). m∠MAD = 2(m∠DAC)

                   = 2(30)°

                   = 60°

d). Since, m∠AMD + m∠ADM + m∠MAD = 180°

    2(39)° + m∠ADM + 66° = 180°

    78° + m∠ADM + 66° = 180°

    m∠ADM = 180° - 144°

                   = 36°

e). m∠ADC = \frac{1}{2}(m\angle ADM)

                   = \frac{1}{2}(36)

                   = 18°

If DE = 4x + 10, EF = 2x-1, and DF = 9x-15, find DF
Dmitrij [34]
Hello,
<span>We have that:
(4x+10)+(2x-1)=9x-15

</span>We solve the equation:
4x+10+2x-1=9x-15;
6x+9=9x-15;
6x-9x=-15-9;
-3x=-24;
3x=24;

<span>from which
</span>x=24:3=8

<span>Then:
DF=9x-15=(9</span>×8)-15=72-15=57
