Applying the Pythagorean theorem, the height of the building is: 24.9 m.

<h3>How to Apply the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

Where c is the length of the hypothenuse of a right triangle, and a and b are the legs of the right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states that:

c = √(a² + b²).

The diagram of the building and its shadow form a right triangle as shown in the image below, where:

a = height of the building

b = 26

c = 36

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we will have:

a = √(36² - 26²)

a = √(36² - 26²)

a = 24.9 m

Which expression matches the situation?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The expression that matches the situation is 90.00 - 3x ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ You went to the mall with $90.00

→ That means the total money with you  = $90.00

∴ The total money = 90.00 dollars

∵ You bought three shirts that cost x dollars each

∴ The cost of a shirt = $x

∴ The number of shirts = 3

→ Find the total cost of the three shirts

∴ The cost of the shirts = 3 × x

∴ The cost of the shirts = 3x dollars

∵ The money left = the total money - the cost of the shirts

→ Substitute the value of total money and the cost of the shirts

∴ The amount of money left = 90.00 - 3x

∴ You have left with 90.00 - 3x dollars

∴ The expression matches the situation is 90.00 - 3x dollars
