This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors

Solve the system of equations. -9Y +4X -20 =0<br> -7Y +16 X -80 =0<br> X=<br> Y=
Fofino [41]

Answer:

X=5, Y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

-9Y +4X -20=0

-7Y+16X-80=0

1. We can multiply the first equation by 4. This will equal to -36Y +16X-80=0.

-36Y +16X -80 =0

-7Y+16X-80=0

2.  We can subtract these two equations.

-36Y +16X -80 =0

-7Y+16X-80=0

We will get -29Y =0. Y=0.

3. Then we can substitute y into the first equation. -9(0) +4x-20 =0. 4x=20. x=5

X=5, Y=0

A rectangular room is 3 3 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 64 64 meters. find the dimension of the room.
lora16 [44]
Perimeter = 2L + 2W    (where L = length and W = width)

And we are given that L = 3W

So substituting for L, we have the equation:-

2(3W) + 2W = 64

6W + 2W = 64

8W = 64 

W = 8  meters

So the length = 3*8  = 24 meters

Answer:- Length = 24 m and Width = 8 m.
