We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft
150 / 12 = 11.6666666667
11.6666666667 x 30 = approximately 350g of flour for 30 cakes
24 x 30 = 720 sq. ft
36 x 108= 3888 sq. inches
3888 inches divided by 12 inches= 324 ft.
720 ft - 324 ft. = 396 ft is the yard only without the garden
Answer: The two integers are 8 and 9.
Step-by-step explanation: Let n represent the number.
n^2 + (n + 1)^2 = 145
By foiling, this can be rearranged to:
n^2 + n^2 + 2n + 1 = 145
Subtract 145 from both sides:
2n^2 + 2n - 144 = 0
Divide both sides by 2:
n^2 + n - 72 = 0
Factor the polynomial:
(n + 9)(n - 8) = 0
Solve for n:
n = -9, n = 8
Since they need to be consecutive, make the 9 positive. It will be positive either way because it is being squared.
Now, n = 9 and n = 8.
These are your two integers. Hope this helps!
