This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (
) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is 
.
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
The only answers that are possible is z=y-x y=x+z or x=y-z
Answer: 8 gallons of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 x 4 x 5 = 60.
60 divided by the number of gallons per cubic foot 7.5 = 8 gallons. :)
Answer:
Animal cells and plant cells share the common components of a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a cell membrane. Plant cells have three extra components, a vacuole, chloroplast and a cell wall.
Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c
Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:
25q + 5n = 150
Rearranging to make n the subject:
n = 30 - 5q
Next, we use the second statement:
n = 2q - 5
Substituting this into the first equation:
2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5
Putting this value for q into the first equation:
n = 30 - 5(5) = 5
Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)
