Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a classic right triangle problem, where the length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse, where the ladder is lengthwise from the building is the base of the triangle, and what we are looking for is the height of the triangle.  Pythagorean's Theorem will help us find this length.

32^2-10^2=y^2 so

1024 - 100 = y^2 and

y = 30.4 so 30 feet

PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP The function graphed approximates the height of a rock, in meters, x seconds after it falls from a cliff
nasty-shy [4]

The vertical numbers are the distance and the horizontal numbers are the time in seconds.

Look at where the line is located at the number 20.

It si between the 2 and the 3 on the horizontal line, but you can see it is closer to the 2 than it is the 3, so the time would be 2.2s

Which statements are true regarding the regular dodecagon? Check all that apply.
ladessa [460]
A dodecagon has 12 sides.  That means that the smallest angle of rotational symmetry is 360/12 or 30°.  All of its angles of rotational symmetry will be multiples of 30, including 180°.  135°, since it is not a multiple of 30°, is not a rotational angle for this figure.  The order of °rotational symmetry is 12, as there are 12 sides you can turn this figure to (since it is regular).

What is the 185th digit in the following pattern 12345678910111213141516
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The 185th digit following that pattern of '12345678910111213141516' would be the number '5'

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the 185th digit is '5' is because the pattern increases it's standard number by the following number (ex, 1,2,3,4,5, etc), and eventually it reached 185 as one of it's numbers, '5' would be the digit because the '18' part of 185 would only be the 184th digit, hence you are needed to include the '5' to complete the sequence of that number to reach the 185th digit.

Emily folded a paper circle into 2 equal parts. What is the angle measure of each part?​
timama [110]
The diameter splits the circle into 2 equal halves by going through the midpoint of the circle. The two halves are called semicircles.
