Answer=B 4.8

We have a right triangle in the drawing so for the altitude we can use the pythagorean theorem. It's as follows...

a²+b²=c²    (where a and b are the side lengths and c is the hypothenuse)

Lets input in the data that we have.

11²+b²=12²
simplify
121+b²=144
subtract 121 from both sides
b²=23

To solve for the missing side/altitude we just need to find the square root of 23

b=√23
b=4.79 or 4.8

Answer=B

Answer: y−3=−3y−43

Step 1: Add 3y to both sides.

y−3+3y=−3y−43+3y

4y−3=−43

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.

4y−3+3=−43+3

4y=−40

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4y

the height of the snow was 84 inches in the beginning of the week. it melts at a rate of 0.15 inches per hour. how many hours wo
lakkis [162]

Answer:

It takes 147 hours for the snow to reach 62 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the snow at the beginning  = 84 inches

Rate at which the snow melts = f 0.15 inches per hour

To Find:

The time taken for the  snow to reach 62 inches = ?

Solution:

Let the time taken to reach 62 inches be x

Then according to the question,

Total height of the snow - (rate of melting)(x) = 62 inches

On substituting the values,

84 - (0.15)(x) = 62

84 - 0.15x = 62

- 0.15x = 62 - 84

- 0.15x = -22

0.15x = 22

x = \frac{22}{0.15}

x= 146.6

x = 147
