6. Maurice is cleaning out the rain gutters
on his house. To get to the gutters, he
places a 24 ft ladder against the house so
that the top of the ladder reaches the
bottom of the gutters. He places the
bottom of the ladder so that it is 7 ft from
the house. Draw a right triangle to
illustrate this situation. Approximately
how high off the ground are the gutters?
Show your work. Round your answer to
the nearest foot.

correct answers below:

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

11.2

step-by-step explanation:

when doing tangent the tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side from the angle over the adjacent side to the angle.

tan43 = x / 12

move 12 over by multiplying each side by 12

12tan43 = x

x = about 11.2
