Algebra.Com's Answer #52720 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let h=height, s=side of square base \n" ); document.write( "Using the word problem as the clue to what h equals we see that \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If the sum of the height and the side is 1380 it translates to this: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Plug in 68+3s into h \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So the side's length is 656 ft, use this to find the height \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So the height of the tower is 1,052 ft tall \n" ); document.write( "Check: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
