Answer:

2 4/5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = height of fire hydrant

7/20 = x/8

cross-multiply:

20x = 56

x = 56/20 or 14/5, which is 2 4/5

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Ira Lisetskai [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is c. \frac{1}{9a^2}.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given an expression (27a^{-3})^{-\frac{2}{3} } and we are supposed to simplify it.

We can also write (27a^{-3})^{-\frac{2}{3} } as (\frac{3^3}{a^3} )^{-\frac{2}{3} }.

We know the power rule (a^m)^n=a^{mn} which means that to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents.

So multiplying the exponents to get:

\frac{3^{(3.-\frac{2}{3})} }{a^{(3.\frac{2}{3})} }\\\\\frac{3^{-2}}{a^2}\\ \\\frac{1}{3^2a^2} \\\\\frac{1}{9a^2}

Therefore, the correct answer option is c. \frac{1}{9a^2}.

Abcd is a rectangle if DB=26 and DC=24 find bc
Anettt [7]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.

Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle

Where a and c = other two sides of triangle

Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:

Let a = BC

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )

a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )

a = square root of ( 100 )

a = 10

Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.

If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:

a = BC = 10

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

100 + 576 = 676

676 = 676

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.
