The correct answer is B.  You can create a proportion using the information given and then solve for the missing height of the Washington Monument.

<u>15 inches tall</u>    =  <u>x feet tall
</u>1.5 inches wide     55 feet tall
<u>
</u>Use cross products to solve for x.
<u>
</u>15 x 55 = 1.5x
<u /><u>825</u> = <u>1.5x
</u>1.5     1.5
x = 550 feet
The height of the Washington Monument is approximately 550 feet tall.

Find a third-degree polynomial equation with rational coefficients that has roots -4 and 6 + i.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

x³ - 8x² - 11x + 148

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x = 6 + i is a root then x = 6 - i is also a root

Complex roots occur as conjugate pairs.

The factors are therefore (x - (6 + i)) and(x - (6 - i))

Given x = - 4 is a root then (x + 4) is a factor

The polynomial is the product of the factors, that is

p(x) = (x + 4)(x - (6 + i))(x - (6 - i))

      = (x + 4)(x - 6 - i)(x - 6 + i)

      = (x + 4)((x - 6)² - i²)

      = (x + 4)(x² - 12x + 36 + 1)

      = (x + 4)(x² - 12x + 37) ← distribute

      = x³ + 4x² - 12x² - 48x + 37x + 148

      = x³ - 8x² - 11x + 148

Find the values of x and y ???? <br><br> show step plz​
lesantik [10]

Answer:

x= 90 degrees

y= 47 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two sides of this triangle are equal in lengths, you know that it is an isosceles triangle.

So with this information, you know that the angle at the bottom left is also 47 degrees.

x would be equal to 90 degrees because it is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle (assuming).

A triangle has 180 degrees, so add up the lengths we have to solve for the missing angle, y.

90+47+y=180

y= 43

Find the area please<br> hurry
Natali [406]

Answer:

745.44 mm² (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Section the shape into a semicircle, a rectangle and a triangle by drawing a line vertically through the point, and a vertical line upwards from the corner of the 12.5 mm and 32.5 mm corner.

area of semicircle = (1/2) \pir² = 78.125\pi mm²

area of the rectangle = 12.5 x 25 = 312.5 mm²

area of triangle = 1/2 x (55 - 25) x 12.5 = 187.5 mm²

total area = 312.5 + 78.125\pi + 187.5 = 745.44 mm² (nearest hundredth)
