Answer:

150 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shown gives us a picture of two similar right triangle.

The height of the man is similar to the height of the platform.

To find the height of the platform, multiply the height of the man by the scale factor.

Scale factor = the ratio of any corresponding sides of two similar triangles.

Scale factor = 100 ft ÷ 4 ft = 25

Height of man = 6ft

Therefore, height of platform = 6 ft × 25 = 150 ft

Solve for x write the smaller solution first and the larger solution second. Round to two decimal places (x+8)^2-7=0
siniylev [52]

Answer:

x ≈ - 10.65, x ≈ - 5.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 8)² - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

(x + 8)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 8 = ± \sqrt{7} ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = - 8 ± \sqrt{7} , thus

x = - 8 - \sqrt{7} ≈ - 10.65

x = - 8 + \sqrt{7} ≈ - 5.35
