Answer:
The answer to your question is 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
height = 20 ft
leg = 15 ft
length of the line = ?
To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem.
Height = short leg = b
leg = long leg = a
length of the line = hypotenuse = c
- Substitution
c² = (20)² + (15)²
-Simplification
c² = 400 + 225
c² = 625
-Result
c = 
c = 25 ft
As you know 30/45 = 6/9
So a = 9 makes the equation true
Answer:
boys = 250
girls = 150
Step-by-step explanation:
5g = 3b eq. 1
g + b = 400 eq. 2
g = girls
b = boys
From the eq. 2
g = 400 - b
Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:
5(400-b) = 3b
5*400 + 5*-b = 3b
2000 - 5b = 3b
2000 = 3b + 5b
2000 = 8b
2000/8 = b
250 = b
From eq. 2
g + 250 = 400
g = 400 - 250
g = 150
Check:
from eq. 1
5*150 = 3*250 = 750
Divide 141 by 73
73 only goes into 141 once
