The correct numbers are 55 and 47, because they have a difference of 8 and a sum of 102.
51 ft is the answer
Explanation
The hight of the man divided by the hight of school ( which is unknown )
Equal
The length of the shadow of the man divided by the shadow of the school
Cross multiplication and find the value of unknown x which is 51... and ya
This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.
Answer:
y = ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x = a - 2by² ( add 2by² to both sides )
x + 2by² = a ( subtract x from both sides )
2by² = a - x ( divide both sides by 2b )
y² = 
( take the square root of both sides )
y = ±
