This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (
) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is
.
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
Answer:
None of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations which should have the same solution as the system below;
x + 4y = 11
4x + 2y = 16
is
x + 4y = 11
-8x - 4y = - 32
This system of equations is missing from your choices.
The trick is that -2 is multiplied to the second equation of the first system.
i.e -2 (4x + 2y = 16) gives; -8x - 4y = -32
