Paula leaned a 10 ft ladder against a building as shown below. if Paula wants the top of the ladder to reac
h exactly 5 feet up in the building, what is x the distance between the building and the base of the ladder, in feet?

The distance between the building and the base of the ladder is 5√3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a right angle triangle,

From the Pythagorean theorem,

Base, x =

⇒ x =

⇒ x =

⇒ x =

⇒ x = 5√3

The distance between the building and the base of the ladder is 5√3 feet.

a. turk and mcalister

b. howard, mission, and market

c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.

intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.

skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
