A 13ft ladder leans against the side of a house. The bottom of the ladder is 10ft from the side of the house. How high is the top of the ladder from the ground? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth. We have a right triangle. Hypotenuse = 13, one leg = 10. We use our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=10&hypinput=13&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']Pythagorean theorem Calculator to solve for the other leg[/URL]: s = [B]8.3066[/B]

A 50-foot pole and a 70-foot pole are 30 feet apart. If you were to run a line between the tops of the two poles, what is the minimum length of cord you would need? The difference between the 70 foot and 50 foot pole is: 70 - 50 = 20 foot height difference. So we have a right triangle, with a height of 20, base of 30. We want to know the hypotenuse. Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=20&side2input=30&hypinput=&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']Pythagorean theorem calculator to solve for hypotenuse[/URL], we get: hypotenuse = [B]36.06 feet[/B]

A certain group of woman has a 0.69% rate of red/green color blindness. If a woman is randomly selected, what is the probability that she does not have red/green color blindness? 0.69% = 0.0069. There exists a statistics theorem for an event A that states: P(A) + P(A') = 1 where A' is the event not happening In this case, A is the woman having red/green color blindness. So A' is the woman [U][B][I]not[/I][/B][/U][I] having red/green color blindness[/I] So we have: 0.0069 + P(A') = 1 Subtract 0.0069 from each side, we get: P(A') = 1 - 0.0069 P(A') = [B]0.9931[/B]

A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against a wall. If the base of the ladder is 7 feet from the wall, how high up the wall does the ladder reach? We have a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse, and we want the measurement of one leg. Set up the pythagorean theorem with these given items using our P[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=7&hypinput=25&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']ythagorean Theorem Calculator[/URL]. We get Side 1 = [B]24 feet.[/B]

A ladder is 25 ft long. The ladder needs to reach to a window that is 24 ft above the ground. How far away from the building should the bottom of the ladder be placed? We have a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse, and the window side is one side. Using our right triangle and the [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=24&hypinput=25&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']pythagorean theorem calculator[/URL], we get a length of [B]7 ft [/B]for the ladder bottom from the wall.

A young dad, who was a star football player in college, set up a miniature football field for his five-year-old young daughter, who was already displaying an unusual talent for place-kicking. At each end of the mini-field, he set up goal posts so she could practice kicking extra points and field goals. He was very careful to ensure the goalposts were each straight up and down and that the crossbars were level. On each set, the crossbar was six feet long, and a string from the top of each goalpost to the midpoint between them on the ground measured five feet. How tall were the goalposts? How do you know this to be true? The center of each crossbar is 3 feet from each goalpost. We get this by taking half of 6, since midpoint means halfway. Imagine a third post midway between the two goal posts. It has the same height as the two goalposts. From the center post, the string from the top of a goalpost to the base of the center post, and half the crossbar form and right triangle with hypotenuse 5 feet and one leg 3 feet. [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=3&hypinput=5&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']Using the Pythagorean Theorem[/URL], the other leg -- the height of each post -- is 4 feet.

The distance between consecutive bases is 90 feet. An outfielder catches the ball on the third base line about 40 feet behind third base. How far would the outfielder have to throw the ball to first base? We have a right triangle. From home base to third base is 90 feet.

The height of an object t seconds after it is dropped from a height of 300 meters is s(t)=-4.9t^2 +300. Find the average velocity of the object during the first 3 seconds? (b) Use the Mean value Theorem to verify that at some time during the first 3 seconds of the fall the instantaneous velocity equals the average velocity. Find that time. Average Velocity: [ f(3) - f(0) ] / ( 3 - 0 ) Calculate f(3): f(3) = -4.9(3^2) + 300 f(3) = -4.9(9) + 300 f(3) = -44.1 + 300 f(3) = 255.9 Calculate f(0): f(0) = -4.9(0^2) + 300 f(0) = 0 + 300 f(0) = 300 So we have average velocity: Average velocity = (255.9 - 300)/(3 - 0) Average velocity = -44.1/3 Average velocity = -[B]14.7 [/B] Velocity is the first derivative of position s(t)=-4.9t^2 +300 s'(t) = -9.8t So we set velocity equal to average velocity: -9.8t = -14.7 Divide each side by -9.8 to solve for t, we get [B]t = 1.5[/B]
