Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2(x + 7) = 4
Distribute
-2x -14 = 4
Add 14 to each side
-2x-14+14 = 4+14
-2x = 18
Divide each side by -2
-2x/-2 = 18/-2
x = -9
Let, the height of the building be x ft.
Given the building casts 35ft shadow.
The height of the flagpole given which is 22ft and casts a shadow of 10ft.
Now to find the height of the building we have to equate the ratio of height and shadow of the building and the flagpole.
So we can write,
x/35 = 22/10
To find x, we have to get rid of 35 from the left side and have to move it to right side. As 35 is divided there, we will multiply 35 to both sides.
(x/35)× 35 = (22/10)×35
x = (22×35)/10
x = 770/10
x = 77
So, the height of the building is 77 ft which is the required answer here.
Answer:
B) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. <em>It is either 3 or 4</em>, since those are only two angles comparing the lighthouse and the boat.
2. The angle of depression is noted below the horizontal and above the actual line, and out of 3 and 4, <em>4 is the only angle that is below its corresponding horizontal</em>.
So, the angle of depression from the lighthouse to the boat is 4.
Answer:
55 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days
no. of miles ran in 5 days = 15 miles
dividing LHS and RHS by 5
no. of miles ran in 5/5(=1) days = 15/5 miles = 3 miles
no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3 miles
let the no. of days taken to run 165 miles be x ----A
No of miles ran in x days = x*no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3x miles
thus, From A
3x = 165
x = 165/3 = 55
Thus, it took 55 days for JIM to run 165 miles
