Answer:

270 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For clarity, the image below represents the problem. Let's call h the height of the tower. Notice that it forms 2 triangles that are similar to side-angle-side. So, we can calculate the higher of the tower by similar triangles:

higher1/base1 = higher2/base2

h/135 = 6/3

h/135 = 2

h = 270 ft

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

15 equation: 195=105+6x

Step-by-step explanation:

he starts out with 105 and the rate of change is 6x so to get the answer u wanna make and equation (195=105+6x) then you would subtract the 105

195=105+6x

-105  -105

---------------------

90=0 +6x

then u would divide by 6

90/6=6x/6

x=15

ella [17]

Answer: he will be able to make 19 full pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Start off by making 7 feet into 84 inches so the measurements can match.

2. Add 4/14 inches and the 1/8 a inch together so you know how much is being taken off 84 inches. The amount will be 35/8 inches.

3. Divide 84 inches by 35/8 inches = 19 1/5

4. The whole number of the answer will be how many boards you can make from the board.

Solve for x: [x - 2 + 10 = 12
Monica [59]

Answer:x-2+10=12

We move all terms to the left:

x-2+10-(12)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x-4=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=4

A. Plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points.
labwork [276]

Answer:

  a) see the plots below

  b) f(x) is exponential; g(x) is linear (see below for explanation)

  c) the function values are never equal

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a graph of the two function values is attached

__

b) Adjacent values of f(x) have a common ratio of 3, so f(x) is exponential (with a base of 3). Adjacent values of g(x) have a common difference of 2, so g(x) is linear (with a slope of 2).

__

c) At x ≥ 1, the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x), and the value of f(x) is greater than the value of g(x), so the curves can never cross for x > 1. Similarly, for x ≤ 0, the slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). Once again, f(0) is greater than g(0), so the curves can never cross.

In the region between x=0 and x=1, f(x) remains greater than g(x). The smallest difference is about 0.73, near x = 0.545, where the slopes of the two functions are equal.
