Plant B is $\frac{20}{3}$ feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of plant A = $\frac{16}{3}\ feet$

This is 4/5 of height of plant B.

Let,

x be the height of plant B.

$\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{16}{3}$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{5}{4}$

$\frac{5}{4}*\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{16}{3}*\frac{5}{4}\\\\x=\frac{80}{12}\\\\x=\frac{20}{3}$

Plant B is $\frac{20}{3}$ feet tall.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

6084 $\text{ft}^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that the home-office of Tri-star industries is made up of three square buildings, one for each department, with a triangular atrium in the middle. The area of the Plumbing building is 5,184 $\text{ft}^2$ and the area of the A/C building is 900 $\text{ft}^2$ .

We know that area of square is square of its side length. Since all building are squares, so to find the area of electrical building, we will use Pythagoras theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
