3 0

Answer:

24.4

Step-by-step explanation:

18 ÷ 2 = 9

26² = x² + 9²

x² + 81 = 676

x² = 676 - 81

x² = 595

x = √595

x ≈ 24.4

If a 30-foot silo casts a 20-foot shadow, what is the approximate measure from the tip of the shadow to the top of the silo?

Answer:

  (d)  36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use your sense of geometry.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle will never be less than the longest side, and will never be greater than 1.5 times the longest side*.

That means the only reasonable answer choices will be between 30 and 45 feet. There is only one such choice.

The measure is about 36 feet.

__

If you like, you can find a more exact value using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance d of interest is ...

  d^2 = 20^2 +30^2 = 1300

  d = √1300 = 10√13 ≈ 36.0555 ≈ 36 . . . feet

_____

* The longest hypotenuse will be √2 ≈ 1.4142 times the longest right triangle leg when the two legs are equal length.

4.5(8-x)+36=102-2.5(3x+24) show step by step how to solve please.
romanna [79]
Expand

simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72

simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42

add 7.5x to both sides

simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72

subtract 72 from both sides

simplify 42 - 72 to -30

divide both sides by 3

simplify 30/3 to 10

Answer: x = -10
