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 74 inch rake is Leaning against a wall. The top of the rake hits the wall 70 inches above the ground. How far is the bottom of the rake from the base of the wall? We have a right triangle.

We [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=70&hypinput=74&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']use our right triangle calculator to solve for the other leg[/URL]: [B]24 inches[/B]

A computer screen has a diagonal dimension of 19 inches and a width of 15 inches. Approximately what is the height of the screen? We have a right triangle, with hypotenuse of 19, and width of 15. [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=15&hypinput=19&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']Using our right triangle calculator, we get [/URL][B]height = 11.662[/B]

A helicopter rose vertically 300 m and then flew west 400 m how far was the helicopter from it’s starting point? The distance forms a right triangle. We want the distance of the hypotenuse. Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=300&side2input=400&hypinput=&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']right triangle calculator[/URL], we get a distance of [B]500[/B]. We also could use a shortcut on this problem. If you divide 300 and 400 by 100, you get 3 and 4. Since we want the hypotenuse, you get the famous 3-4-5 triangle ratio. So the answer is 5 * 100 = 500.

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?

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 ladder rests 2.5 m from the base of a house. If the ladder is 4 m long, how far up the side of the house will the ladder reach?

We use our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=2.5&hypinput=4&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']right triangle solver[/URL] to get [B]3.122[/B]

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.

An interior designer charges $100 to visit a site, plus $55 to design each room. Identify a function that represents the total amount he charges for designing a certain number of rooms. What is the value of the function for an input of 6, and what does it represent? [U]Set up the cost function C(r) where r is the number of room to design:[/U] C(r) = Cost per room * r + Site Visit Fee C(r) = 55r + 100 [U]Now, the problem asks for an input of 6, which is [I]the number of rooms[/I].
