Answer:
h = 16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras´ theorem establishes, that in a right triangle square of the hypothenuse (c²) is the sum of leg ( b²) plus leg (a²)
Then
c² = a² + b²
where according to the problem statement
(20)² = h² + (12)² ( h is the height of the flagpole )
h² = 400 - 144
h² = 256
h = √ 256
h = 16 feet
Answer:
8,403.6
Step-by-step explanation:
6/5 of 7003
= 6/5 × 7003
= 42,018/5
= 8,403.6
Hence 6/5 of 7003 is 8,403.6
Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6
