Damon is building a slide for his kids. The ladder is 3 meters tall and the slide is 5 meters long. What is the distance between the ladder and the bottom of the slide? Meters

The distance between the ladder and the slide is 4 meters.                    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of ladder = 3 meter

Length of slide = 5 meter

Now, the ladder, slide and distance between ladder and slide forms a right angled triangle.

Thus, by Pythagoras theorem,

The slide forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. Let x meters be the distance between the slide and ladder.

Thus, we can write:

Thus, the distance between the ladder and the slide is 4 meters.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
