A 10 foot ladder is leaning against the wall. the bottom of the ladder is 4ft from the base of the wall. which of the following is closest to the distance from the top of the ladder to the base of the wall?

The height of the wall is 9.17ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the ladder is 10ft

Distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall is 4ft

The height of ladder is unknown.

To solve this question, you'll require a pictorial illustration of the situation. Kindly check attached document for that.

Since it's a right angle triangle, we have two sides with one sides unknown, we can use pythagorean theorem to find the third side.

The hypothenus (x) is 10ft

The adjacent is (y) 4 ft

The opposite (z) (height of the wall) is unknown.

X² = Y² + Z²

10² = 4² + Z²

100 = 16 + Z²

Z² = 100 - 16

Z² = 84

Z = √(84)

Z = 9.165 = 9.17ft

The height of the wall is 9.17ft

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
