Answer:

20 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow of the building will look like a right triangle. In this problem, the hypotenuse of the triangle is 25 meters, and one of the sides is 15 meters. What we are trying to find is the length of the other side.

We can do this by using pythagoreans theorem.

15^2 + x^2 = 25^2\\225 + x^2 = 625\\x^2 = 400\\x =  20

So, the last side (or the height of the building) is 20 meters.

What is 26% of $74.00?
kati45 [8]
So if ever looking for % of, and you have a calculator a very simple way of doing it is taking your actual amount ($74.00) and multiplying it by 0.26
0.26, mathematically is like saying 26% of

The answer is 19.24

You'll notice if you type 74 x 0.50 (which is 50%) you will get 37 -- exactly half of  74

7.8 X 103<br>--------------<br>1.2 X 104<br>​
Strike441 [17]

;-;

Let's just do a bunch of math below.

7.8 X 103          ?

-------------- =    ------

1.2 X 104           ?

So, first, we're gonna do 7.8 multiplied by 103 to get 803.4.

Thus....

7.8 X 103         803.4

--------------   =  -----------

1.2 X 104              ?

Then we would do 1.2 multipied with 104 to get a product of 124.8.

Therefore....

7.8 X 103         803.4

--------------   =  -----------

1.2 X 104           124.8

Dividing 803.4 by 124.8 would get you a quotient of 6.4375.

Your answer is 6.3475.~

Have a nice day~

What is the width of todors area model? <br> 10x exponent2 -5x 15
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The width of the area model is equal to

(2x^2-x+3)\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Todor was trying to factor 10x^2-5x+15 he found the greatest common factor of these terms was 5 what is the width

we know that

The area of a rectangular model is given by the formula

A=LW ----> equation A

where

L is the length

W is the width

we have

A=10x^2-5x+15

Factor the expression

A=5(2x^2-x+3)

substitute the value of the Area in the equation A

5(2x^2-x+3)=LW

In this problem

The greatest common factor of these terms is the length (L=5 units)

so

we can say that the width is equal to (2x^2-x+3)

therefore

The width of the area model is equal to

(2x^2-x+3)\ units
