Answer:

85 parking spaces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Parking spaces on floors :

Let first floor = x

Second floor = 2x

Third floor = 2x + 3

Total parking spaces = 428

THEREFORE ;

x + 2x + 2x + 3 = 428

5x + 3 = 428

5x = 428 - 3

5x = 425

x = 425 / 5

x = 85

Hence, there are 85 parking spaces on the first floor

The polynomial 8x2 – 8x + 2 – 5 + x is simplified to 8x2 – gx – h. What are the value of g and h?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Option D: g = 7 and h = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial is;

8x² – 8x + 2 – 5 + x

Simplifying this gives;

8x² - 7x - 3

If this is simplified to 8x² – gx – h

Thus, by comparison of terms;

– gx = - 7x

-x will cancel out to get;

g = 7

Similarly, - h = - 3

Thus,h = 3

Therefore; g = 7 and h = 3

(the stake is 14ft)
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

it‘s about

32.08 ft (if its not an answer choice try 32 or anywhere near that number)

Step-by-step explanation:

SO this is a simple example of triangles

We would need to find the heigh of the flagpole which is the leg of the triangle

The other side (14ft) is the 2nd leg of the triangle

And we know the hypotenuse is 35 ft

So we put that in Pythagorean Theroux and solve for the first missing leg

a^2+14^2=35^2

a^2+196=1225

a^2=1029

√1029 is about 32.08

So its about 32.08

A Triangle has an angle that measures 137.3 degrees. The other two angles are in a ratio of 3:4. What are the measures of those
Andreyy89
So we start off by subtracting 137.3 from 180 getting 42.5. If you add the ratios up (3+4) you get 7 and 7 should equal 42.5. thus,

42.5/7= 85/14

(85/14)*3=18.2 or (255/14 to be exact)
(85/14)*4= 24.29 or (170/7 to be exact)
