A 25 foot ladder is leaning against a tree. If the base of the ladder is 6 feet away from the base of the tree, how high, to the nearest tenth, does the
ladder reach up the tree?

9514 1404 393

  24.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If h is the height of the ladder up the tree, the geometry can be modeled as a right triangle with legs h and 6, and hypotenuse 25. The Pythagorean theorem gives you the relation ...

  h² +6² = 25²

  h² = 625 -36 = 589

  h = √589 ≈ 24.3

The ladder reaches about 24.3 feet up the tree.

f(x) is going down by 4

step-by-step explanation:

(its either that or its going left by 4)

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
