Answer:
18.7939 m
Step-by-step explanation:
-Let x be the distance between John and clock tower.
-Let y be the vertical distance from the eyes of the two men standing to the top of the clock tower.
#Taking the right triangle ACD:
#Taking the right triangle ABD:
#We equate the two yo solve for x and y;
Hence, John's distance from the tower's base is 18.7939 m
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem 7 is 10% of Ben Franklin's age. To solve you must find what 100% percent of his age is. To do this multiply 7 by 10. You do this because 10% times 10 is equal to 100%. Therefore, his age is 70.
Answer:
Measurement is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity of the same kind.
Step-by-step explanation:
11 more than five of a certain number would be written as 5x+11 and it is (means equal to) twenty more than two times that number, which would be 2x+20. So the equation would be
5x+11=2x+20
-2x -2x (get the x's on one side)
3x+11=20
-11 -11 (get the numbers on one side)
3x=9
/3 /3 (divide by 3, so you can get the x by itself)
X=3 (the number is 3)
Division. The x is divided from both sides.
