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

What is 2 times pi times r?<br> pi is 3.14 or 22/7.<br> What is r?
Ludmilka [50]
"2 times pi times r", which can be written as "2*pi*r", represents the circumference of a circle. This is the distance around the circle (aka perimeter)

r is the radius of the circle

if you know the diameter then you can divide the diameter in half to get the radius (example: diameter is 10 so the radius is 5)

Question is attached, please explain a little:) will mark BRAINLIEST
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know it has 2 distinct zeros. This means the discriminant of the quadratic is positive and must have 2 real zeros that can be rational or irrational. We also know the quadratic has rational coefficients which means both are either rational or irrational. They can not be one of either. Since it tells us one is rational, the other must be too.

A series consists of some numbers such that the summation of the divisors of any number of that series is 1 less than twice of t
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The 9th term is 17179869184

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that;

The divisors of 1 = 1 which is 1 less than 1*2

The sum of the divisors of 2 = 1 + 2  = 3 which is 1 less than 2*2

The sum of the divisors of 4 = 1 + 2 + 4 which is 1 less than 4*2

The sum of the divisors of 8 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 which is 1 less than 8*2

The sum of the divisors of 32 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 which is 1 less than 32*2

The sum of the divisors of 256 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 + 256 which is 1 less than

The next numbers are therefore,

32 × 256 = 8192

256 × 8192 = 2097152 and the 9th term is therefore;

8192 × 2097152 = 17179869184.

Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability t
BigorU [14]
The answer is A. The probability that you draw hearts than spades is 1/16 If drawing more than one card with replacement: The probability of drawing a specific card each time is 1/52n n= the number of draws. The probability of drawing a specific card each time is 1/13n. The probability of drawing a specific suit each time is 1/4n. Since you draw two types of cards,each time you drew is 1/4 so 1/4 times 1/4 is 1/16. Kind of cofusion right

what is the volume of the cone? use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest hundredth. do not enter units​
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Volume = PI * radius^2 * height / 3

Volume = PI * 9^2 * 6 / 3

Volume = 3.14 * 162

Volume = 508.68
