A bricklayer supports a 5 meter ladder. Against a vertical wall. The foot of ther ladder is 3 meters from the wall. Calculate the heigth at which the top of ladder is

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height at which the top of the ladder is be represented by h. The sketch of the question forms a right angled triangle. So that applying the Pythagoras rule,

= +

= +

25 = + 9

= 25 - 9

   = 16

⇒ h =

      = 4

Therefore, the height at which the top of ladder is placed is 4 meters.

t = 3

step-by-step explanation:

put t = 3 in this expression :

(3²-1)(3²-2)(3² - 3)(3² - 4) = 8×7×6×5 = 56×30 = 1680

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
