let the length of each shorter side be x
length of longer side= x+14
2(x+14) + 2x = 48
2x + 28 + 2x = 48
4x + 28 = 48
4x = 48-28
4x = 20
x = 5
shorter side = 5cm
5 units is the length of the side opposite ZB
Step 1: move all terms to one side
7 + 2x^2 - 10x = 0
Step 2: Use the quadratic formula
X = 10 + 2(square root of 11). 10-2 _/—-11

Step 3: Simplify solutions
X= 5 + (square root of 11) 5 - (square root 11)

Set up ratios of height / shadow length:
8/6 = x/100
Cross multiply
6x = 800
Divide both sides by 6
X = 133.33 feet
The tower is 133.3 feet
Answer:
x > -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Open circle so the sign is not inclusive. The point is at -1 and goes to the right so it is more than.
