Mr. Hammar is painting his house. He uses a 16 foot extension ladder to reach the top peak of the house. The ladder is positioned 5 feet away from the house. How far up the house does the ladder reach? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 4 feet that the ladder rises, the bottom of the ladder should be 1 foot away from the wall. If you are going to climb onto a roof, the ladder should extend 3 feet higher than the roof. Also, the upper and lower sections of an extension ladder should overlap to provide stability

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
