A ladder is leaning against the side of a house. If the ladder is 12 feet tall and it is
reaching 8 feet vertically on the house,
how far away from the house is the base
of the ladder (in feet)?

8.94 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder leaning against the perpendicular wall forms a right angled triangle. As per Pythagorus theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + b^2 = 12^2

64 + b^2 = 144

b^2 = 144 - 64 = √80= 8.94 feet

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.  

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
