Question

find the value of x in each of the following figure.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 17 foot

2.a) x=25

  b) x= 15

  c) x  = 9

  d) x =4

  e) x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

   GIVEN PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE = 15foot

   GIVEN BASE DISTANCE = 8foot

   LET THE LENGTH OF THE LADDER BE x

   SO,

   BY APPLYING PYTHAGORAS THEOREM,

   SO,

  WE KNOW,

   (P)²+(B)²=(H)²

   (15)²+(8)²=(x)²

   225 + 64 = x²

   x² = 289

  x = $\sqrt{289}$

 x = 17foot

2.a)

      (P)²+(B)²=(H)²

      (24)²+(7)²= (x)²

      576+49=x²

      x=$\sqrt{625}$

      x=25

b)

  (P)²+(B)²=(H)²

  (9)²+(12)²=(x)²

  81+144=x²

  x=$\sqrt{225}$

  x=15

c)

  (P)²+(B)²=(H)²

  (40)²+(x)²=(41)²

  1600+x²=1681

  x²=1681-1600

  x=$\sqrt{81}$

  x=9

d)

  (P)²+(B)²=(H)²

  (3)²+(x)²=(5)²

  9+x²=25

  x²=25-9

 x=$\sqrt{16}$

 x=4

e)

 (P)²+(B)²=(H)²

 (5)²+(12)²=(x)²

 25+144=x²

 x=$\sqrt{169}$

 x = 13
