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

Please help! 9/4(7+3-4*9)
Serga [27]

Answer:

58.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This expression should be simplified using order of operations. According to order of operations or PEMDAS, complete any numbers in parenthesis then any exponents, multiplication, division, additions and subtraction moving left to right through each operation.

Begin with Parenthesis.

(7+3-4*9) - Multiply first

(7+3-36) - Then add/subtract left to right

10 - 36 = -26

Replace -26 where the parenthesis were in the original expression.

9/4 (-26)
