Answer:
5 x Square root:2
Step-by-step explanation:
Base height + statue height = total height
Total height = 305
statue height = 111
base height + 111 = 305
Subtract both sides by 111
base height = 194
The height of the base is 194 feet.
Have an awesome day! :)
"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
The quadratic formula is -b plus minus the square root of b^2-4ac all over 2a.
Here, a=1, b=13, and c=30.
