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

What is the product?
Anit [1.1K]

The final answer will be a 3x3 matrix. So you'll have 3 rows and 3 columns.

Along row one, the values are:     10,   15,    20

Along row two, the values are:      45,  -5,   -35

Along row three, the values are:   55,  25,   -15

all of which make up the final answer. Each value in bold is the result of multiplying the outer 5 by each value inside the original matrix given. In a sense, it's like using the distributive property, though we wont be adding any of the values (everything stays separated).

Please help Maggie's brother is 3 years younger than twice her age. The sum of their ages is 30.
denpristay [2]
I’m not sure if this is correct but this is the way i would solve it.

first, make an equation with the given information

2x-3=30

Then, add three to both sides

2x=33

Finally, divide both sides by 2

x= 16.5


x represents the age of maggie so all you have to do is plug the solution into the equation to check your answer.

2(16.5)-3= 30
