The building is 78 feet tall.

Actual length / shadow ratio is equal
Let the height of the building be x, then
36/28 = x/70
x = (36 x 70)/28 = 2,520/28 = 90.

Therefore, the height of the building is 90 feet.

The product of two consecutive positive odd numbers is 195.By constructing a quadratic equation and solving it, find the two num
Tomtit [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = one odd number

the second odd number is (x+2), as both are consecutive.

so,

x × (x + 2) = 195

x² + 2x = 195

x² + 2x - 195 = 0

the formula to solve this is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 2

c = -195

x = (-2 ± sqrt(4 - 4×1×-195))/(2×1) =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 4×195))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(784))/2 =

= (-2 ± 28)/2 = -1 ± 14

x1 = -1 + 14 = 13

x2 = -1 - 14 = -15 which is invalid as the numbers are positive.

so, the two numbers are 13 and 15.

PEMDAS is order of operations...

Parentheses first, you can combine like terms...

8(6j+7)

Multiplication/division is next...8 times each term inside the parentheses

48j+56

Since there is one term with a variable and one is just a number that is as far as you can go...there are no more like terms...
