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!
Since the photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at the party and an additional 50 dollars per hour, we have:
50x+500=C
Where x is the hours stayed and C is the total cost. Since Cindy doesn't want to spend more than 700 dollars, we have:
So she spent an additional 4 hours on the rental.
When dividing with negative and positive, the quotient is negative. 70 / -3.5 would be -2. Here is what the long division looks like:
