What else can I help you with?
When a painter leans a 29 foot ladder so that the base of the ladder is 21 feet from the wall. What is the height at which the top of the ladder touches the wall?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 20 feet
What is it called when a boat leans to the side?
It is called listing when a boat leans. If the boat leans to port (left) then it is listing to port.
What is a square that leans over called?
A rhombus.
Do kites form 2 pare of congruent triangals?
The triangle on top is smaller than the one on the bottom. The reason for this is to have more surface area on the bottom, so the kite leans into the wind. If both triangles were the same size, the kite would lay horizontal (level) and the wind would not lift the kite up. It is a vector problem.Here is a good site to see the physics of kite flyingwww.real-world-physics-problems.com/physics-of-kite-flying.htmlThe kite leans into the wind. So when the wind blows horizontal, the kite is pushed up (lift) and to the right (drag). By adjusting the position of the 3 strings, you can control the stability of the kite.
What type of triangle has 3 different measurements?
scalene (it leans)also theres equilateral(3 equal angles/side lengths)and isosceles (looks like an icicle, has 2 equal sides and angles)
If A painter leans a 34ft ladder against a building The base of the ladder is 16ft from the building To the nearest foot how high on the building does the ladder reach?
30 feet. And you don't have to round it to the nearest foot. It's exactly 30 feet.
When a painter leans a 20 foot ladder against a building the base of the ladder is 12 feet from the building to the nearest foot how high on the building does the ladder go?

A ladder that leans against a building makes an angle of 49 degree with the ground and reaches a point on the building 12m above the ground Find the length of the ladder to the nearest meter?
The ladder forms a right angle with the building: the ground and the building forming the right angle and the ladder forming the hypotenuse. If the length of the ladder is L metres, then sin(49) = 12/L So L = 12/sin(49) = 15.9 = 16 metres.
Ken leans a 12-foot ladder against his house He places the ladder so that the base is 5 feet from the house How far up the house does the ladder reach?
10.9 [11]
A ladder 3m long leans against a wall reaches 2m up the wall What is the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall?
If you are asking, what's the distance (x) from the bottom of the ladder to the wall, then... x squared + 2 squared = 3 squared x squared + 4 = 9 x squared = 5 x = the square root of 5, or approx 2.24 m
A ladder 15ft long leans against a wall the top of the ladder reaches a height that is 3 ft more than twice the distance from the base of the ladder to the wallhow high up the does this ladder reach?

What building leans in Italy?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
What is the answer to A ladder 15 feet long leans against a wall and forms an angle of 45 degrees with the ground how far from the wall is the ladder?
Assuming the wall is vertical, the wall, the ground and the ladder form an isosceles right-angled triangle. Pythagoras tells us that the square of the length of the ladder, in this case 225 equals the sum of the squares of the other two lengths, ie the height where the ladder touches the wall and the bottom of the ladder's distance from the wall. As these distances are equal in an isosceles triangle each must be the square root of (225/2) ie sqrt 112.5 which is 10.6066, as near as makes no difference to 10 ft 71/4 inches
A 10-ft ladder leans against a wall so that the base of the ladder is 4 ft from the wall How high up on the wall will the ladder reach to the nearest foot?

In the book hatchet What and how does Brian make a ladder with?
Brian makes a ladder by cutting down saplings and tying them together with the help of his shoelaces and pieces of his outer shirt. He arranges the saplings like rungs and leans the ladder against the cliff to climb up.
