a.Find the length of a rectangle whose diagonal is 10in. and whose width is 7in.
Imagine half of the rectangle as a right triangle:
about 7.141 inches
b. The base of a 15-ft ladder is 5 ft away from a wall. How far above the floor is the top of the ladder?
It depends on the location of the floor. I will solve using the idea of the floor's location at the wall. You should imagine this. You see a right triangle forming again.
about 14.142 feet
