You need the greatest common factor of the two numbers.
First, we find the prime factorization of each number.
72/2 = 36
36/2 = 18
18/2 = 9
9/3 = 3
3/3 = 1
72 = 2^3 * 3^2
90/2 = 45
45/3 = 15
15/3 = 5
5/5 = 1
90 = 2 * 3^2 * 5
To find the GCF, use only common factors with the lower exponent.
Both 72 and 90 have 2 as a factor. 72 has 2^3, and 90 has 2. 2 has a lower exponent than 2^3, so we use 2.
Both 72 and 90 have 3 as a factor. The both have 3^2, so we use 3^2.
90 has 5 as a factor, but 72 does not, so 5 is not a common factor, so we do not use 5.
The GCF is the product of the factor we use.
GCF = 2 * 3^2 = 2 * 9 = 18
Answer: The greatest number of students he can place in a row is 18.

Answer: 100 meters</h3>
===========================================
Explanation:
If you draw out the diagram, then you'll find that a 45-45-90 triangle forms. The nice thing about this type of triangle is that the two legs are always the same length. The horizontal leg is 100 meters, so the vertical leg must also be 100 meters.
Side note: this type of triangle is an isosceles right triangle.
---------
You could use the tangent rule to get the same thing
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(45) = 100/x
1 = 100/x
1*x = 100
x = 100
In this case, the opposite leg is the vertical leg since it is furthest from the angle of elevation.
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the file, we see that;
Horizontal distance from bottom of ladder to side of house = 2
Length of ladder leaning against side of the house = 4 m.
Now we want to find the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground which we can call d.
Thus we can find it from pythagoras theorem.
d = √(2² + 4²)
d = √(4 + 16)
d = √20
d = 4.47
To the nearest tenth gives;
d = 4.5
At the end of the 3 hour period the temperature would have decreased by 6.75.
