<h3>Answer:  15.7 meters</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

s = sum of the heights of buildings A,B,C

s/3 = mean of the heights of buildings A,B,C

s/3 = 14.2

s = 3*14.2

s = 42.6

The buildings A,B,C have their heights add up to 42.6

--------------

r = sum of the heights of buildings A,B,C,D,E

r/5 = mean of the heights of buildings A,B,C,D,E

r/5 = 14.8

r = 5*14.8

r = 74

--------------

r-s = (sum of heights of A,B,C,D,E)-(sum of heights of A,B,C)

r-s = sum of the heights of buildings D and E

r-s = 74-42.6

r-s = 31.4

(r-s)/2 = mean height of buildings D and E

(r-s)/2 = 31.4/2

(r-s)/2 = 15.7 meters is the average height of buildings D and E.

Solve equation. <br><br> X^2-4x-12 = 0
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 4x - 12 = 0

x2 - 6x + 2x - 12= 0

x(x - 6) + 2(x - 6) = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = - 2

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

If cos 37 degrees is close to 4/5 which is closest the the measure of op?
alukav5142 [94]
Cos(37)= \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse} =  \frac{4}{5}
The hypotenuse is 5 unit and the adjacent side to the angle is 4 unit. We can find the other side using Pythagoras theorem

\sqrt{5^{2}- (4^{2})  } = \sqrt{9}=3

Hence the value of sin(37)= \frac{opposite}{hypothenuse}= \frac{3}{5}
