As far as I understand A)
Answer:
a = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
-6(2 + a) = -48
it is basically 2 steps
Divide by -6 first
(2 + a) = -48 / -6
2 + a = 8
minus the 2
a =6
An obtuse triangle has those measurements
I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.
The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.
Now we add our two heights to find the total height.
h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160
We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.
2h + 160 = 1480
Subtract 160 from both sides
2h = 1320
Divide both sides by 2
h = 660
h + 160 = 820
Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.
36 x 8 = 288
44 x 8 = 352
288 + 352 = 640
So 640 minutes in 8 days.
