Since your scale is 1ft:1.26cm, a 30-ft tall school would need to have a

cm model. Dividing this by how tall each toothpick is, you'll get:
ANSWER: The model would be 6 toothpicks tall.
To find out how many cotton swabs you'll need, we just divide 37.8 by how tall each swab is:
ANSWER: The model would be 5 cotton swabs tall.
Let us try and solve it analytically. We have that the side=x+3 together with the short side=s and the diagonal=x+4 satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. Then we have that

. This yields

which yields s^2=2x+7, hence a) is the correct answer.
The answer is 4 hope this helps
8x - 9x²y + 7y² - 2x⁴
-2x⁴ - 9x²y + 8x + 7y²
X=5 because 4x5=20 and 20-4=16
