Conan installs windows for a living and has propped his ladder against a customer's house.
a. Initially, the bottom of his ladder is 8 feet from the base of the house and reaches 15
feet up the wall of the house. How long is the ladder?

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem

h^2=x^2+y^2

Which means that the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle) squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides. In this case we are given the side lengths of 8 and 15 feet.

h^2=8^2+15^2

h^2=64+225

h^2=289

h=17 ft

The ladder is 17 feet long.

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
