If the height of the Washington Monument is 50.5 inches more than 10 times the length of a side of its square base.
\n" ); document.write( " If the sum of these two dimensions is 7324 inches, What is the height of the Washington Monument, and how do you show the work for the problem
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = the length of the side of the base
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "height + base width = 7324
\n" ); document.write( "(10s + 50.5) + s = 7324
\n" ); document.write( "11s = 7374 - 50.5
\n" ); document.write( "11s = 7273.5
\n" ); document.write( "s = 7273.5/11
\n" ); document.write( "s = 661.22 inches is the length of the square base
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "10(661.22) + 50.5 = 6662.77 inches is the height (about 555.23 ft) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
