A 25 foot ladder is leaning against a building. The building is 20 feet high. How far away from the building is the bottom of the ladder

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this, you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The 25 ft is the hypotenuse, the longest side of the triangle. the building's height, 20 ft is one of the legs. The missing measurement is one of the other legs.

Pythagorean Theorem: A^2 + B^2 = C^2

A and B are legs and C is the hypotenuse.

Substitute the values:

20^2 + B^2 = 25^2

400+ B^2 = 625

625 - 400 = 225

225 = 15^2

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
