An 11-ft ladder leans against the side of a house. The bottom of the ladder is 9-ft from the side of the house. How high is the top of the ladder from the ground? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth

6.3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This requires the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where "a" and "b" are legs and c is the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90 degree angle.) If we fill the equation where c is the ladder length(11) and "a" is the distance from the house(), and "b" is the height, 9^2+b^2=11^2 or 81+b^2=121. This is equivalent to b^2=40. b=6.3 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
