Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

ik how to do it but do you know how to use the formula

Answer 4

a2 + b2 = c2

Answer 5

yes i do

Answer 6

ok so draw out the tirangle

Answer 10

It doesn't in this case

Answer 11

the equation is a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 12

yall to fast for me

Answer 13

c is the length of the ladder

Answer 14

4 could go in either the place of A or the place of B

Answer 15

C is usually the hypotenuse of the triangle, that's what you're solving for here

ohhh thanks mudd

Answer 17

So after you square both 4 & 10, you would add them to get C...and if you want to see what that is unsquared, just take the squareroot of that product

Answer 18

so it would be 12.88

Answer 19

but then i gotta round

Answer 20

Do you believe it'll round to 12 ft or 13 ft?

But if I were to round the 10.77, it would round up to 10.8...which is one of the answerchoices provided

Answer 25

i seee what i did wronggggggggggg

Answer 26

Simple mistakes can always mess up the equation.

Just like how an incorrect measurement of 1/100 of an inch on a guitar could mess up the quality of said guitar
