We must assume the wall of the building is vertical. The hypotenuse of this right triangle is represented by the ladder, 32 feet. So we wish to find the bottom of the triangle, the distance between the wall and ground. From the infamous Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the sides equals the square of the hypotenuse.
Taking the difference, 32² - 23² = 1024 - 529 = 495. What is the square root of 495? It is 22.2 feet. I would move the ladder closer or get a shorter ladder--that does not seem stable.
Answer:
x-intercept: 
y-intercept: 
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the x intercept set y = 0 and solve
0 = 2x - 7
2x = 7
x = 7/2
to find the y intercept set x = 0 and solve
y = 2(0) - 7
y = -7
Answer:
2 : 3
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Hello fellow human!</em>
red : blue - 8 : 12
The ratio is divisible by 4 - (8/4) = 2 ; (12/4) = 3
Hence, 2 : 3
