Answer:

49.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number - x

2.5% of the number is 0.025x.

New number is  x+0.025x = 1.025x.

New number is 51.

1.025x = 51

x = 51/1.025≈ 49.8

Brett painted three walls. Each wall was 9 ft tall and 12 ft long. How much wall area did he paint
julsineya [31]

Answer:

First we need to calculate the are of each wall, since we alredy knew the length (l) and the width (w) which is the height of the wall in this case:

A = wl = 9 . 12 = 108 (ft²)

We also know that he painted 3 walls, we need to multiply our first result by 3, in other words, the area of wall that Brett painted is the sum of the area of three walls: 108 . 3 = 324 (ft²)

1. (01.02)<br><br> Given that f(x) = 4x – 3 and g(x)<br><br> 2x-1, solve for g(f(2)). (5 points)
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we shall be doing here is substituting f(x) into g(x).

Mathematically, that would be written as g(f(x))

= 2(4x-3)-1 = 8x -6 -1 = 8x - 7

Now we shall find g(f(2)) by substituting 2 into the expression above.

Mathematically, that would be 8(2) -7 = 16-7 = 9

a woman 1.65. tall stood 50m away from the foot of a tower,and observe that the angle of elevation of the top of the tower to be
ElenaW [278]

\sf\huge\underline{\star Solution:-}

\rightarrowLet the women's height be AE and distance between the women and tower be AC.

Also let the height of tower be BC.

\rightarrowNow, clearly it is forming a triangle.

So, in triangle ABC,

\rightarrow\sf{Tan50° \:= \: \frac{BC}{AC}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 \:= \: \frac{BC}{50}}

\rightarrow\sf{1.19 ×50\:= \: BC}

\rightarrow\sf{59.5m\:= \: BC}

\rightarrowHence, BC = 59.5m

So, BD(total height of the tower)\sf{ = \:BC+CD}

\sf{= \:59.5+1.65}

\sf{=\: 61.15m}

Therefore, total height of the tower =\sf\purple{ 61.15m.}
