<span>Well, the answer will definitely be negative because there is a minus sign.</span>

<span>-6x=24 - because I took away the 9 from both sides. (33-9=24)</span>

9 is now gone, so now we do 24 divided by -6. <span />

<span>So this means <span>x = -4.</span></span>

In this case, you have to get -6x on one side, and the digits on the other. To eliminate the +9, you have to subtract it, as you always use the opposite operation. This then gives you -6x=24. You then have to divide 24 by 6, giving you -4. Therefore, x=-4

A 600-ft tall building is represented by a 30-in. tall model.

alexdok [17]

$\huge\boxed{19\ \text{inches}}$

First, find the scale factor by dividing the first building's real-life height by its model height.

$\frac{600}{30}=\frac{60}{3}=20$

Now, we'll write an equation to find the model height of the second building.

$r=20m$

Here is an equation where $r$ represents the real-life height of a building, $20$ represents the scale factor, and $m$ represents the model height of the same building.

Fill in the information we already know.

$380=20m$

Divide both sides by $20$ .

$\frac{380}{20} = \frac{20m}{20}$

$\large{\boxed{19}}=m$

So, the model height of the second building is $19$ inches.

The lateral edge PA of a triangular pyramid ABCP is perpendicular to the base and PA = 2sqrt5 in. The base edges AB = 10 in, AC

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

PQ = √84 = 2√21 in ≈ 9.165 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The base edges AB = 10 in, AC = 17 in, and BC = 21 in

Q ∈ BC and AQ is the altitude of the base.

Let BQ = x in ⇒ CQ = (21 - x) in

ΔAQB a right triangle at Q

∴ AQ² = AB² - BQ² = 10² - x² ⇒(1)

ΔAQC a right triangle at Q

∴ AQ² = AC² - CQ² = 17² - (21-x)² ⇒(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

∴ 10² - x² = 17² - (21-x)²

∴ 10² - x² = 17² - (21² - 42x + x²)

∴ 10² - x² = 17² - 21² + 42x - x²

∴ 10² - 17² + 21² = 42x

∴ 42x = 252

∴ x = 252/42 = 6

Substitute at (1)

∴ AQ² = AB² - BQ² = 10² - x² = 100 - 36 = 64 = 8²

∴ AQ = 8 in

∵ The lateral edge PA of a triangular pyramid ABCP is perpendicular to the base

∴ PA⊥AQ

∴ ΔPAQ is a right triangle at A,

PA = 2sqrt5 in and AQ = 8 in

∴ PQ (hypotenuse) = √(PA² + AQ²)

∴ PQ = √[(2√5)² + 8²] = √(20+64) = √84 = 2√21 in ≈ 9.165 in
