Answer:
38 2/3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In shadow problems, the usual assumption is that object height and shadow length are proportional.
height/length = b/16 = 5.8/2.4 . . . . . for building height b
b = 16(5.8/2.4) = 38 2/3
The building is 38 2/3 feet tall.
Answer:
18.75%
Step-by-step explanation:
Altogether he took 16 tests he failed 3 so we need to find 3 is what percent of 16.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the width
then
2x = the length
:
The box dimensions: 2x by x by 4
Given the surface area:
2(2x*x) + 2(2x*4) + 2(x*4) = 220
:
4x^2 + 16x + 8x = 220
A quadratic equation:
4x^2 + 24x - 220 = 0
simplify, divide by 4
x^2 + 6x - 55 = 0
Factor
(x+11)(x-5) = 0
The positive solution is what we want here:
x = 5 ft is the width
then
2(5) = 10 ft is the length
:
Find the volume
10 * 5 * 4 = 200 cu/ft is the volume
150 + 20x, where x is the number of cellphones sold
