The ratio of the triangle is 55/1.1, which is 50/1.

This means that the building is 50/1 = x/5

x = 250

The office building is 250 m tall.

QUESTION in the diagram below the following are rectangles. ACEG ;BCDJ ; JDEF and HJFG is a square AB =AH = x ;BC=5 ; HG=3 Area

White raven [17]

The area of the rectangle ACEG is the amount of space on it, and the area of square HJFG is 9 square units

<h3>How to determine the area of the figures?</h3>

The area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length * Width

The area of a square is:

Area = Length * Length

From the question, the given parameters are:

AB =AH = x ;

BC=5;

HG=3

This means that the area of square HJFG is:

Area = HG * HG

Area = 3 * 3

Area = 9

<em>Note that the other areas cannot be calculated because the question is incomplete</em>

How do I solve these problems?

lesya [120]

$Domain:\\D:x > 0\\\\\ln x=5.6+\ln(7.5)\ \ \ \ |-\ln(7.5)\\\\\ln x-\ln7.5=5.6\ \ \ |Use\ \log x-\log y=\log\dfrac{x}{y}\\\\\ln\dfrac{x}{7.5}=5.6\ \ \ \ |use\ \log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\\dfrac{x}{7.5}=e^{5.6}\ \ \ \ |\cdot7.5\\\\\boxed{x=7.5e^{5.6}}\in D$

$\log x=5.6-\log7.5\ \ \ \ |+\log7.5\\\\\log x+\log7.5=5.6\ \ \ \ |use\ \log x+\log y=\log (xy)\\\\\log(7.5x)=5.6\ \ \ \ |use\ \log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\7.5x=10^{5.6}\ \ \ \ |:7.5\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{10^{5.6}}{7.5}}\in D$
