A 20-foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from the building at 2 ?feet/second, how fast is the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 3 feet from the? wall?The top of the ladder is moving down at a rate of ?feet/second when the foot of the ladder is 3 feet from the wall. ?(Round to the nearest thousandth as? needed.)

The top of the ladder is moving down at a rate of 0.303 feet / second

Step-by-step explanation: Please see the attachments below

the answer would be d.

step-by-step explanation:

move all variables to the left side and all constants to the right side

(x−3)^2+(y−1)^2=16

this is the form of a circle. use this form to determine the center and radius of the circle.

( x − h ) 2 + ( y − k ) 2 = r 2

match the values in this circle to those of the standard form. the variable   r   represents the radius of the circle,   h   represents the x-offset from the origin, and   k   represents the y-offset from origin.

r = 4

h = 3

k = 1

the center of the circle is found at   ( h , k ) .

center:   ( 3 , 1 )

these values represent the important values for graphing and analyzing a circle.

center:   ( 3 , 1 ).

radius:   4
