Answer:
About 6 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
One book has a thickness of 2
inches.
Another book has a thickness of 3.56 inches
Converting 2
inches to decimals will give; 2.4285714286 inches
If the books are stacked together, they become 2.4285714286 inches + 3.56 inches = 5.988571429 inches tall or about 6 inches tall (answer rounded up to nearest whole number).
Prime factorization of 24= 1,24,2,12,3,8,4,6,
4(x 2)=48
4x+8=48
4x=40
x=10
Pythagorean Theorem
75^2+40^2=x^2
5625+1600=7225
Square root of 7225 is 85
So hypotenuse is 85 yd
