A7-ft ladder is placed against a wall with its base 3 ft from the wall. How high above the ground is the top of the ladder? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if needed.​

6.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

use pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c²

a² + 3² = 7²

a² + 9 = 49

Subtract 9 from both side

a² = 40

Take the square root of both sides

a = 6.324555320336759

Rounded

a = 6.3

slope is 35 and 20 miles is the y-intercept.

step-by-step explanation:

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
