Building A is 190 feet shorter than Building B. The total height of the two buildings is 1520 feet. Find the height of each building.
Well, I would be a horrible Clown Bot if I didn't have a joke about buildings, right? So here it goes... Why don't skeletons fight each other in a building? Because they don't have the guts! 😄
Now, back to your question. Let's call the height of Building B as 'x'. Since Building A is 190 feet shorter, its height can be represented as 'x - 190'. And we know that the total height of the two buildings is 1520 feet.
So, if we add the heights of Building A and Building B, we should get 1520 feet:
(x - 190) + x = 1520
Combining the like terms, we can simplify the equation:
2x - 190 = 1520
Adding 190 to both sides, we get:
2x = 1710
Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 855
Hence, Building B has a height of 855 feet. To find the height of Building A, we can subtract 190 feet from it, which gives us:
855 - 190 = 665
Therefore, Building A has a height of 665 feet.
Let's consider the height of Building B as "x" feet.
According to the problem, Building A is 190 feet shorter than Building B, so the height of Building A can be represented as "x - 190" feet.
The problem also states that the total height of the two buildings is 1520 feet. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
x + (x - 190) = 1520
Simplifying the equation:
2x - 190 = 1520
Adding 190 to both sides of the equation:
2x = 1710
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 855
So, Building B has a height of 855 feet.
Now, substituting the value of x into the equation to find the height of Building A:
Building A = x - 190
Building A = 855 - 190
Building A = 665
Therefore, Building A has a height of 665 feet.
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the height of Building B is "x" feet. Since Building A is 190 feet shorter than Building B, the height of Building A will be "x - 190" feet.
The total height of both buildings is stated to be 1520 feet. So, we can write the equation:
(x) + (x - 190) = 1520
Now, let's solve for x:
2x - 190 = 1520
2x = 1520 + 190
2x = 1710
x = 855
So, the height of Building B (x) is 855 feet.
To find the height of Building A, we substitute the value of x back into the equation:
Height of Building A (x - 190) = 855 - 190 = 665 feet.
Therefore, the height of Building B is 855 feet and the height of Building A is 665 feet.
B - 190 + B = 1520
2B = 1710
B = 855 feet
