Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
12 x 6 = 72 / 2 = 36 because the area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2
I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.
The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.
Now we add our two heights to find the total height.
h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160
We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.
2h + 160 = 1480
Subtract 160 from both sides
2h = 1320
Divide both sides by 2
h = 660
h + 160 = 820
Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
it's another one of those similar triangles
it's easier to see this one.
t /c = u / b
where
t = 7x + 3
c = 27
u = 35
b = 21
plug in the knowns
7x + 3 / 27 = 35 / 21
7x + 3 = 27 ( 35 / 21 )
7x + 3 = 9 ( 35 / 7 ) ( divided by 3 )
7x + 3 = 9 ( 5) ( 7 into 35 =5 )
7x + 3 = 45
7x = 45 - 3
7x = 42
x = 6
I checked it, the ratio is 1_2/3 :) for both, but you can check it too
Answer:180
Step-by-step explanation:
you start by finding the prime factorization of the number
5=1*5
9=3*3
12=2*2*3
the shortest way to find the factors is to find is most of them like example, at max, there are 2 two's, 2 three's and 1 five then you multiply them all together
4*9*5=180 and that's the answer
Answer:
Using graph for units
D=1/2(6)(9)=27 sq units
E=1/2(7)(6)=21 sq units
F=1/2(6)(8)=24 sq units
