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.

So set both equations equal to each other then solve out of x and plug it back into the x equation to find the angles so start with x+5=2x+10 then subtract x from 2x and you will have 1x then subtract 10 from 5 leaving you with negative 5 then x equals negative 5 and then plug it back into the equation so for example 2 times negative 5 equals negative 10 plus positive 10 equals 0 so therefore x equals 0

Answer:

7cm=7×3ft=21ft

4cm=4×3ft=12ft

here

length=21ft

breadth=12ft

now

area= l×b

=21ft×12ft

=252ft^2

Please solve with working out <br> simultaneous equations<br> 3x+2y=12<br> 2x+2y=10
Novay_Z [31]
Here, 3x + 2y = 12
2x + 2y = 10

Subtract 2nd from 1st equation, 
x = 2

Now, substitute in 2nd, 
2(2) + 2y = 10
2y = 10 - 4
y = 6/2
y = 3

In short, Your Answer would be: (2, 3)

Hope this helps!
