PLEASE SHOW WORK A 25 meter ladder leans against a wall. It starts sliding from 15 meters above the ground. The foot of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at the rate 6 m/sec. What is the rate (in m/sec) at which top of the ladder is sliding down?

A. -3
B. -5
C. -8
D. -11
E. -7

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
