The total height of the building in the picture has been shown as

x + x + 6

That is, the first two storys have been shown as x feet each and the total height is 26 feet.

That means the two x are actually 20 feet, (if you deduct the 6 feet given)

Total height = x + x + 6

26 = x + x + 6

26 = 2x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

26 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6

20 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 and you now have,

20/2 = 2x/2

10 = x

Therefore, te height of each story is 10 feet!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2=20; \ => \ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=\sqrt{20} \\x=-\sqrt{20} \end{array} \ => \ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=2\sqrt{5} \\x=-2 \sqrt{5} \end{array}$

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle before folded = 56 in

Total area after folding = 156 sq in

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle before folded: l = 16 and w = 12

P = 2(16) + 2(12) = 32 + 24 = 56 in.

Figure after folding: Area of trapezoid + area of rectangle

Area of trapezoid = h( $b_{1} + b_{2}$ )/2 = 6(4 + 16)/2 = 60

Area of rectangle = lw = 16(6) = 96

Total area after folding = 60 + 96 = 156 sq in.

Note: You could also find the area after folding by substracting the areas of the two triangles in the corners from the area of the original rectangle. Your choice. OK?

Question In the LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

The mean of the scores is by adding up all those numbers then dividing by how many there are.

So the answer is 146.6, but if you take away 3 it will be 143.6 then taking away the decimals it'll just be 143, it might be 143 but I might be incorrect.
