A nine-meter ladder leans against a building making an angle of with the ground. How far is the bottom of the ladder from the base of the building?

answer: 1) twenty-seven times y

              2) twenty-seven multiplied by y

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
