Multiplication property of equality
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
Let x = the height.
2^2 + x^2 = 7.5^2
Simplify:
4 + x^2 = 56.25
Subtract 4 from both sides:
x^2 = 52.25
Take the square root of both sides:
x = 7.2284 m Round the answer as needed.
Answer: Yes. On average, it takes about 455 days for 1 person to throw away 1 ton of garbage, so just over 1 year.
Step-by-step explanation: The average person throws away 4.4 pounds of trash daily. So, the way to figure this out is 2,000 divided by 4.4 to find out the number of days it would take to throw away 2,000 pounds of trash.
