To solve this question, we have to set up a proportion that relates the two triangles.

In the bigger triangle, the bottom piece equals 30 feet.
In the smaller triangle, the bottom piece equals 5 feet.

In the bigger triangle, the height equals x feet.
In the smaller triangle, the height equals 30 feet.

In a proportion, this would be:

5/30 = 30/x

To solve this proportion, we can use cross-products, or setting the products of the opposite numerators and denominators equal to each other.

5 * x = 30 * 30

Now we have to simplify both sides of the equation by completing the multiplication operations.

5x = 900

Finally, we must divide both sides by 5, to get the variable x alone on the left side of the equation (get rid of coefficient of 5)

x = 180

Therefore, x = 180 or the height of the bigger triangle (building) is 180 feet.

Mila [183]

Answer:

Simplify the following algebraic expressions.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6

2(x - 9) + 6(-x + 2) + 4x

3x2 + 12 + 9x - 20 + 6x2 - x

(x + 2)(x + 4) + (x + 5)(-x - 1)

1.2(x - 9) - 2.3(x + 4)

(x2y)(xy2)

(-x2y2)(xy2)

Solution

Group like terms and simplify.

- 6x + 5 + 12x -6 = (- 6x + 12x) + (5 - by

Solution

Use rules of exponential to simplify the numerator first.

(a b2)(a3 b) / (a2 b3) = (a4 b3) / (a2 b3)

Rewrite as follows.

(a4 / a2) (b3 / b3)

Use rule of quotient of exponentials to simplify.

= a2

Rewrite as follows.

(21 x5) / (3 x4) = (21 / 3)(x5 / x4)

Simplify.

= 7 x

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ]

Multiply terms in numerator and denominator and simplify.

(6 x4)(4 y2) / [ (3 x2)(16 y) ] = (24 x4 y2) / (48 x2 y)

Rewrite as follows.

= (24 / 48)(x4 / x2)(y2 / y)

Simplify.

= (1 / 2) x2 y

Factor 4 out in the numerator.

(4x - 12) / 4 = 4(x - 3) / 4

Simplify.

= x - 3

Factor -5 out in the numerator.

(-5x - 10) / (x + 2) = - 5 (x + 2) / (x + 2)

Simplify.

= - 5

Factor numerator and denominator as follows.

(x2 - 4x - 12) / (x2 - 2x - 24) = [(x - 6)(x + 2)] / [(x - 6)(x + 4)]

Simplify.

= (x + 2) / (x + 4) , for all x not equal to 6

Solve for x the following linear equations.

2x = 6

6x - 8 = 4x + 4

4(x - 2) = 2(x + 3) + 7

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

- x / 5 = 2

(x - 4) / (- 6) = 3

(-3x + 1) / (x - 2) = -3

x / 5 + (x - 1) / 3 = 1/5

Solution

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 and simplify.

2x / 2 = 6 / 2

x = 3

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 8 + 8 = 4x + 4 + 8

6x = 4x + 12

Add - 4x to both sides and group like terms.

6x - 4x = 4x + 12 - 4x

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2 and simplify.

x = 6

Expand brackets.

4x - 8 = 2x + 6 + 7

Add 8 to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 8 + 8 = 2x + 6 + 7 + 8

4x = 2x + 21

Add - 2x to both sides and group like terms.

4x - 2x = 2x + 21 - 2x

2x = 21

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 21 / 2

Add 1.6 to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3

0.1 x - 1.6 + 1.6 = 0.2 x + 2.3 + 1.6

0.1 x = 0.2 x + 3.9

Add - 0.2 x to both sides and simplify.

0.1 x - 0.2 x = 0.2 x + 3.9 - 0.2 x

- 0.1 x = 3.9

Divide both sides by - 0.1 and simplify.

x = - 39

Multiply both sides by - 5 and simplify.

- 5(- x / 5) = - 5(2

What is the y intercept of the line - 4 x + 6 y = - 12?

Solution

Set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

- 4 (0) + 6 y = - 12

6 y = - 12

y = - 2

y intercept: (0 , - 2)

What is the x intercept of the line - 3 x + y = 3?

Solution

Set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.

- 3 x + 0 = 3

x = -1

x intercept: (-1 , 0)

What is point of intersection of the lines x - y = 3 and - 5 x - 2 y = - 22?

Solution

A point of intersection of two lines is solution to the equations of both lines. To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we need to solve the system of equations x - y = 3 and -5 x - 2 y = -22 simultaneously. Equation x - y = 3 can be solved for x to give

x = 3 + y

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation - 5 x - 2 y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

Substitute x by 3 + y in the equation -5 x - 2 y = - 22 and solve for y

x = 3 + y = 3 + 1 = 4

Point of intersection: (4 , 1)

For what value of the constant k does the line - 4 x + k y = 2 pass through the point (2,-3)?

Solution

For the line to pass through the point (2,-3), the ordered pair (2,-3) must be a solution to the equation of the line. We substitute x by 2 abd y by - 3 in the equation.

- 4(2) + k(-3) = 2

Solve the for k to obtain

k = - 10 / 3

What is the slope of the line with equation y - 4 = 10?

Solution

Write the given equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the slope m.

y = 14

It is a horizontal line and therefore the slope is equal to 0.

What is the slope of the line with equation 2 x = -8?

Solution

The above equation may be written as

x = - 4

It is a vertical line and therefore the slope is undefined.

Solution

A line parallel to the x axis is a horizontal line and its slope is equal to 0.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the x axis?

Solution

A line perpendicular to the x axis is a vertical line and its slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -22 and solve for y

-5 (3 + y) - 2 y = - 22

-15 - 5 y - 2 y = - 22

-7 y = - 22 + 15

-7 y = - 7

y = 1

Find the length of the hypotenuse

denpristay [2]

Answer: The answer is “10cm”

Step-by-step explanation: To get to this answer we first need to know the formula for find the hypotenuse which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A and B are the two sides in this case a and b are 8 cm and 6 cm. Then you plug in the values into the equation, it looks like this 8^2 + 6^ = c^2 once you solve you get 64 + 36 = c. When you add 64 and 36 you get 100 but their is one more step. You must find the square root of 100 which is 10. So your answer for the hypotenuse is “10cm”

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer for Number 1

The GCF of 20 and 10 is 10

Divide both by the GCF, 10:

20 ÷ 10 = 2

10 ÷ 10 = 1

The ratio 20 : 10 can be reduced t by dividing both terms by the GCF = 10
