Answer:

The correct answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this you will need to use the pathagreom theorum

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

A= one side lenth

B= the secons side lenth

C= hypotnuse

It is helpfull to draw out the situation

you know that the latter is 25 ft, that is your hypotnuse

you also know that the 7 ft away from the base of the building is one of the side lenths, lets call it side a

so plug the numbers into the equation

7^2 + b^2 = 25 ^2

you leave b^2 alone because that is the side you are trying to find

now square 7 and 25 but leave b^2 alone

49 + b^2 = 625

now subtract 49 from both sides

b^2 = 576

now to get rid of the square of b you have to do the opposite and square root both sides removing the square of the B and giving you the answer of..........

B= 24

Hope this helped!! I tryed to explain it as simpil as possiable

Suppose a pizza must fit into a box with a base that is 12 inches wide.
mojhsa [17]
The area of the whole pizza must be at most 113.10 square inches in order to perfectly fit in the box. The values of r represent the half of the length of the pizza with respect to its center. In this case, the r must not exceed 6 inches (r ≤ 6 inches) in order to fit in the pizza box. On the other hand, the values of a represent the total area the pizza will occupy. In this case, the a must not exceed 113.10 square inches (a <span>≤ 113.10) </span>in order to house the pizza perfectly.
