Set up an equation of ratios as shown below:
h 24 ft 4
----- = ---------- = ---
4 6 ft 1
Cross multiplying the 1st and 3rd fractions, we get h=16 ft (answer)
the 5 is in the hundreds place, the 7 is in the tens place and the 2 is in the ones place
The left side can be written as a square. We can take the square root, then subtract 1.
... (x +1)² = 17
... x +1 = ±√17
... x = -1 ±√17
The answer too your question is 65 it is equal to the square root of 65
0, and Positive infinity is the answer
