65/100 = 13/20
(divide by 5 on both sides)
Hope this helped!
Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.
For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.
The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125
Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:
H/28ft = 1.8125
Now we can solve this for H.
H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft
Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Length: 2w + 59
width: w
diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2 = 2w + 61
Length² + width² = diagonal²
(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²
(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w² = 4w² + 122w + 3721
5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721
w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721
w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721
w² - 4w - 240 = 0
a = 1, b = -4, c = -240
w = ![[-(b) +/- \sqrt{(b)^{2} - 4(a)(c) }]/2(a)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B-%28b%29%20%2B%2F-%20%5Csqrt%7B%28b%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%20-%204%28a%29%28c%29%20%7D%5D%2F2%28a%29)

since width cannot be negative, disregard 1 - 2√61
w = 1 + 2√61 ≈ 16.62
Length: 2w + 59 = 2(1 + 2√61) + 59 = 2 + 4√61 + 59 = 61 + 4√61 ≈ 92.24
Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in
Answer:
- 3
Step-by-step explanation:
let n be the number , then
3n + 4 = n - 2 ( subtract n from both sides )
2n + 4 = - 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2n = - 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
n = - 3
The number is - 3
There is no simplest form for a decimal. You can only simplify equations and fractions, not decimals. For example, could you simplify 1? I don't think you could. Well, it's the same concept for -3.75.
Hope that answered your question.
