Using the Pythagorean theorem:

b = √(c^2 - a^2)

b = √(30^2 - 18^2)

b = √(900 - 324)

b = √576

b = 24 feet

N=d-2
q=n+d =>q=(d-2)=q=2d-2
25q+5n+10d=525
replace q and n with d
25(2d-2) +5(d-2)+10d=525
50d-50+5d-10+10d=525
65d=585

Answer:

PB = 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

PQ = 8 cm, BC = 10 cm and AB = 9 cm

∆ABC is similar to ∆APQ.

Therefore:

$\frac{AB}{AP} = \frac{BC}{PQ}$

Plug in the values

$\frac{9}{AP} = \frac{10}{8}$

Cross multiply

AP × 10 = 8 × 9

AP × 10 = 72

Divide both sides by 10

AP = 7.2

PB = AB - AP

PB = 9 - 7.2

PB = 1.8
