For this case, the first thing to do is find the scale factor.
Using the measure of height we have:
k = (360) / (18 * (1/12))
k = 240
Thus, the length of the building is:
(14 * (1/12)) * (240) = 280 feet
Answer:
The lenght of the real building is:
280 feet
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 8(x + 5) = 6 - 3x
Remember to follow PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, distribute -8 to all terms within the parenthesis
-8(x + 5) = (-8)(x) + (-8)(5) = -8x - 40
5x - 8x - 40 = 6 - 3x
Isolate the variable (x). Add 3x & 40 to both sides
5x - 8x (+3x) - 40 (+40) = 6 (+40) - 3x (+3x)
5x - 8x + 3x = 6 + 40
Simplify. Combine like terms
(5x - 8x + 3x) = (6 + 40)
0 = 46 ; False 0 ≠ 46 ∴ no solution is your answer

Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar triangles, their sides are proportional
12 : 15 :: 8 : x - 4
Product of extremes = Product of means
12 × ( x- 4 ) = 15 × 8
12x -48 = 120
12x = 120 + 48
12x = 168
x = 168/12
x = 14
Answer: option d. the argument is valid by the law of detachment.
The law of detachment consists in make a conlcusion in this way:
Premise 1) a => b
Premise 2) a is true
Conclusion: Then, b is true
Note: the order of the premises 1 and 2 does not modifiy the argument.
IN this case:
Premise 1) angle > 90 => obtuse
Premise 2) angle = 102 [i.e. it is true that angle > 90]]
Conclusion: it is true that angle is obtuse
