Question

translate each problem into an equation.
the height of a tower is three times the height of a certain building. If the tower is 50 m taller than the building, how tall is the tower?

Answer 1

Similar to the last problem. You need to translate this into some equations. If 't' is the tower and 'b' is the building then:
t = 3b
t = 50 + b

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 4

Identify the variables, length and width. Remember that the area of a rectangle is length * width

Answer 5

@rayleigh first problem: "translate each problem into an equation.
the height of a tower is three times the height of a certain building. If the tower is 50 m taller than the building, how tall is the tower?
SOLUTION:
HEIGHT OF CERTAIN BUILDING =h
then height of tower = 3h
difference is 50 so equation
3h-h = 50, ....just a thought
