I saw the image. It formed 2 right triangles. 1 small and 1 big.
small triangle has a long leg of 4 feet and hypotenuse of 6 feet.
big triangle has a long leg of (x) and hypotenuse of 6 + 12 ft.

proportion:

4/6 = x / 18
4 * 18 = 6x
72 = 6x
72/6  = x
12 = x

The distance from the base of the stairs to the tallest column is 12 feet.

Answer:

A. 24

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for find the area of right triangle is (1/2) × (b × h)

Using this formula, we can find the area of this right triangle given the side lengths

the base of this right triangle is 8

the height of this right triangle is 6

(1/2) × (8×6)

(1/2) × (48)

48/2

Two numbers are randomly selected from integers 1 through 9. What is the probability that only one of the integers is odd given
Stells [14]

Another one where there's a danger of overthinking it !

The sum of ANY two integers is odd only if one is even and one is odd.

If they're both odd OR both even, then their sum is even.

So if their sum is odd, then one is odd and the other is even.

The probability is ' 1 ' (100%) .

dusya [7]

The answer for this problem would be 7x+6

Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

4x−3+3x+9

=4x+−3+3x+9

Step 1: Combine Like Terms.

=4x+−3+3x+9

=(4x+3x)+(−3+9)

So, the answer for this problem would be 7x+6.
