Answer:

  60 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in height is the short leg of a right triangle with long leg 35 m and hypotenuse 37 m.

  (∆h)² + 35² = 37² . . . . . . . . . . the Pythagorean theorem

  (∆h)² = 1369 -1225 = 144

  ∆h = √144 = 12 . . . meters

The taller building is 48 m + 12 m = 60 m high.

Transform the equation x-3y=-15 to express it in slope-intercept form
tiny-mole [99]
X -3y = -15

Subtract 'x' from each side:

-3y = -x - 15

Divide each side by -3 :

<em>y = 1/3 x + 5</em>

This is 'slope-intercept' form.

One of the smallest pools on the ship has about 45,000 gallons of water in it.
gtnhenbr [62]

Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day is 5457798.7 gallons

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Initial amount of water in the pool = 45,000 gallons

Increase in amount = 0.75 in per minute

Time, t = 1 day

t = 24 X 60 min

t = 1440 min

So,

Increase in amount of water in 1 day = 0.75 in X 1440

                                                             = 1080 in

Volume of 1080 in of water = (1080 in)³

Volume from cubic inch to gallon = 5453298.7 gallon

Amount of water in the pool at the end of the day = 45000 + 5453298.7 gallon

                                                                                   = 5457798.7 gallon
