Answer:

h = 9 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the diagram is like the one below.

∆ABD is a right triangle.

We can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the height h.

\begin{array}{rcl}h^{2} + 40^{2} & = & 41^{2}\\h^{2} + 1600 & = & 1681\\h^{2} & = & 1681 - 1600\\& = &81\\h& = & \sqrt{81}\\&=& \mathbf{9}\end{array}\\\text{The height of the gable is $\large \boxed{\textbf{9 ft}}$}

42.5p=c

You get you get the number 42.5 since you know 10 people paid 425, you would divide 425 by 10 to know how much every person paid.

M is representing the amount of money each person paid

(M)10=425
M=425/10
M=42.50 <- since it’s about money

Each person paid $42.50


The cost for 15 people is $637.50.

42.5p=c
42.5(15)=637.5
