The hose on a power washer is 42-ft. long. If the compressor to which the house is attached is located at the corner of a 28-ft wide house, how can the hose reach up the far corner without moving the compressor? a. What is the exact height that the hose can reach up?

b. What is the approximate height that the hose can reach up?

9514 1404 393

  a) 14√5 feet

  b) about 31.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The 42-ft hose is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg 28 ft. We are asked to find the other leg. The Pythagorean theorem is useful.

  h² +(28 ft)² = (42 ft)²

  h² = (1764 -784) ft² = 980 ft²

  h = √(196·5) ft

  h = 14√5 ft

__

b) The approximate height is ...

  14√5 ≈ 31.305, about 31.3 feet

step-by-step explanation:

ask goog great chance of finding the solution there

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
