A flagpole sits on top of a 25 foot tall building. The building is exactly 3 times the height of the flagpole, h, minus 5 feet.

Which value of h makes the equation 25 = 3h – 5 true?

Add 5 to both sides of the equation to get 30=3h. Then, divide by 3 to isolate the variable. Your answer will be h=10. Hope this helped! :D

Formula for surface area of a cylinder:

$SA=2\pi r^{2} +2\pi rh$

Plug in values and solve for the radius:

$180\pi =2\pi r^{2} +2\pi r(9)\\$

Divide both sides by $2\pi$

$90=r^{2} +r(9)$

Subtract 90 from both sides

$0=r^{2} +9r-90$

Use the quadratic equation to find the roots

$x=(-b$ ± $\sqrt{b^2-4ac})*\frac{1}{2a}$ (sorry for formatting, Brainly doesn't

allow equations with ± in them)

$x=\frac{-9+\sqrt{9^2-4*1*90} }{2(1)}$ and $x=\frac{-9-\sqrt{9^2-4*1*90} }{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{(-9+\sqrt{81+360})}{2}$ and $x=\frac{(-9-\sqrt{81+360})}{2}$

$x=\frac{(-9+\sqrt{441})}{2}$ and $x=\frac{(-9-\sqrt{441})}{2}$

$x=\frac{(-9+21)}{2}$ and $x=\frac{(-9-21)}{2}$

$x=\frac{12}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-30}{2}$

$x=6$ and $x=-15$

We can't have a negative radius, so that leaves us with r=6 in.

What's the answer to this

White raven [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle CDB is the supplementary angle to 9x+10 (angle ADC).

that means they stand together for 180°. as all angles around a single point on one side of a line are together always 180°.

and then, the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

so,

CDB + (4x + 10) + 50 = 180

CDB = 180 - (9x + 10) = 180 - 9x - 19 = 170 - 9x

therefore,

(170 - 9x) + (4x + 10) + 50 = 180

170 - 9x + 4x + 10 + 50 = 180

-5x = -50

5x = 50

x = 10

angle CDB = 170 - 9x = 170 - 90 = 80°

Name a pair of complementary angles and a pair of supplementary angles

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m<POQ + m<SOR = 90º. This makes these two angles complementary.

m<POQ + m<QOR + m<SOR = 180º. This is because the measure of a straight line is 180º.

hope this helps, reach out if you have more questions!

Find the zeros of f(x) = x^2+5x-6.<br> A. {-2,3}<br> B. {-6,1}<br> c. {-2,-3}<br> D. {-6,-1}

Arisa [49]

Answer:

x^2+5x-6

a = 1 b = 5 and c = -6

Using the quadratic formula:

x = [-5 +- sq root (25 -4 * 1 *-6) ] / 2 * 1

x = [-5 +- sq root (49)] / 2

x = [-5 +- 7] / 2

x1 = 1

x2 = -6
