For this problem, you could use the Scale Factor.
I will use x for the height of the building.

So 8 is to 90 as 5 is to x.

Our equation is:

8(SF) = 90

Divide both side by 8:

SF = 45/4

Then, we plug SF into the next equation:

5(SF) = x
5(45/4) = x
56.25 = x

Round to the nearest foot, and the height of the building is 56 feet.

Which set of numbers can represent the side lengths, in inches, of an acute triangle? 4, 5, 7 5, 7, 8 6, 7, 10 7, 9, 12
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Set B i.e., 5 , 7 , 8 represent the side of acute angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Set of numbers.

To find: Set that represent sides of an acute angled traingle.

We use the following result:

When given 3 triangle sides then to determine if the triangle is acute angled , right angled or obtuse angled.

First find Square all 3 sides, then Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides and then Compare the sum to the square of the last side.

if sum > Square of last side ⇒ it is Acute Triangle

if sum = Square of last side ⇒ it is Right Triangle

if sum < Square of last side ⇒ it is Obtuse Triangle  

a). 4  , 5 , 7

4² = 16 ,  5² = 25 , 7² = 49

16 + 25 = 41

∵ 41 < 49

⇒ It is an Obtuse Traingle.

b). 5 , 7 , 8

5² = 25 , 7² = 49 , 8² = 64

25 + 49 = 74

∵ 74 > 64

⇒ It is an acute Triangle.

c). 6 , 7 , 10

6² = 36 , 7² = 49 , 10² = 100

36 + 49 = 85

∵ 85 < 100

⇒ It is an Obtuse Triangle.

d). 7 , 9 , 12

7² = 49 , 9² = 81 , 12² = 144

49 + 81 = 130

∵ 130 < 144

⇒ It is an Obtuse Triangle.

Therefore, Set B i.e., 5 , 7 , 8 represent the side of acute angled triangle.
