for many skyscrapers, the height of one story is equal to about 12 feet.
(a. write an expressing that approximates the height in feet of a skyscraper that is s stoires tall.
(b. estimate the hieght in feet of skyscrapers that are 20, 24, 28, and 32 stories tall.
pls show me the formula for this so i can work it out..thank u
A0 h=12s
b)just plug in those numbers for s:)
thx
wait, i have to multiply those numbers by 12 right
yea;)
okay thank you...my answers are 12(20)=240, 12(24)=288, 12(28)=336, 12(32)=384...are they correct?
(a) To approximate the height in feet of a skyscraper that is s stories tall, you can use the formula:
Height = s * 12 feet
This formula takes the number of stories (s) and multiplies it by 12 feet, since each story is approximately 12 feet tall.
(b) To estimate the height in feet of skyscrapers that are 20, 24, 28, and 32 stories tall using the formula, you can substitute the respective values of s into the formula and calculate:
For a skyscraper that is 20 stories tall:
Height = 20 * 12 feet
Height = 240 feet
For a skyscraper that is 24 stories tall:
Height = 24 * 12 feet
Height = 288 feet
For a skyscraper that is 28 stories tall:
Height = 28 * 12 feet
Height = 336 feet
For a skyscraper that is 32 stories tall:
Height = 32 * 12 feet
Height = 384 feet
By substituting the desired number of stories into the formula, you can calculate the approximate height in feet for any given number of stories.
