The range finder is 112 feet from the building ( adjacent ) and 131 feet from the top of the building ( hypotenuse ).
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 131² - 112²
x² = 17,161 - 12,544
x² = 4,617
x  = √ 4,617
x = 67.948
The height of the building:
h = x + 3 = 67.948 + 3 = 70.948 ≈ 70.9 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer: h = 70.9 feet.

Using the linear combination method what is the solution to the system of linear equations 7x - 2y = -20 and 9x + 4y = -6
Ghella [55]

x should equal -2 and y should equal -3 to solve this i multiplied the first equation by 2 then got rid of the 4y and -4y then i added the 14x to the 9 equaling 23x and added the -40 to the -6 which became 23x=-46 i solved this getting -s for x, then i plugged that into the equations to get y which was -3

Geometry math question no Guessing and Please show work thank you
ahrayia [7]
To find the angle of vertex E,we need to first find the sum of interior polygons to determine x:
(number \: of \: sides - 2) \times 180
In this case,the equation would be:
(7-2)×180°
=5×180°
=900°

We can then find the value of x:
(4)6x+(2)2x+8x=900°
24x+4x+8x=900°
36x=900°
x=25°

The interior angle of vertex E:

6x=6(25)=150°

Therefore,the interior angle of vertex E is 150°.

Hope it helps!

4) What type of sequence is shown: 1, 2, 4, 7, 10,...
KIM [24]

Answer:

Stohr sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a_1=1 and define a_(n+1) to be the least integer greater than a_n which cannot be written as the sum of at most h>=2 addends among the terms a_1, a_2, ..., a_n. This defines the h-Stöhr sequence
