building A is 180 feet shorter than building B. The total height of the two building is1480 feet. find the length of each building

Let x = height of building B

Let x - 180 = height of building A
since their total height is 1480,
x + x - 180 = 1480
Solving,
2x = 1480 + 180
2x = 1660
x = 830 ft (height of bldg B)
x-180 = 650 ft (height of bldg A)

hope this helps~ `u`

To find the length of each building, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information. Let's assume that the height of building B is x feet.

Since building A is 180 feet shorter than building B, the height of building A can be represented as (x - 180) feet.

The total height of the two buildings is 1480 feet, which means the sum of the heights of building A and B is equal to 1480 feet. We can write this as an equation:

(x - 180) + x = 1480

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the height of building B:

2x - 180 = 1480

Add 180 to both sides:

2x = 1660

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 830

So, the height of building B is 830 feet.

To find the height of building A, we can substitute the value of x into the equation (x - 180):

A = (830 - 180) = 650

Therefore, building A is 650 feet tall and building B is 830 feet tall.

Let's assume the height of building B is "x" feet.

According to the problem, building A is 180 feet shorter than building B. Therefore, the height of building A will be "x - 180" feet.

The problem also states that the total height of both buildings is 1480 feet. So, we can write an equation using these two heights:

(x) + (x - 180) = 1480

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2x - 180 = 1480

Adding 180 to both sides of the equation:

2x = 1660

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 830

Therefore, the height of building B, which we assumed as "x," is 830 feet.

The height of building A = x - 180 = 830 - 180 = 650 feet.

So, the length of building A is 650 feet, and the length of building B is 830 feet.
