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, do i have to multiply those numbers by 12?
a) H = 12 s
H is the height in feet
b) Use the formula in a)
so it like 12(20)=240, 12(24)=288, 12(28)=336 and 12(32)=384...is that the answers?
??? can u pls tell mee if im rite or wrong
(a. To approximate the height in feet of a skyscraper that is s stories tall, you would indeed multiply the number of stories by the height of one story, which is 12 feet. So the expression that approximates the height in feet of a skyscraper that is s stories tall would be: 12s.
(b. To estimate the height in feet of skyscrapers that are 20, 24, 28, and 32 stories tall, you can use the same formula.
For a skyscraper that is 20 stories tall, you would multiply 20 by 12: 20 x 12 = 240 feet.
For a skyscraper that is 24 stories tall, you would multiply 24 by 12: 24 x 12 = 288 feet.
For a skyscraper that is 28 stories tall, you would multiply 28 by 12: 28 x 12 = 336 feet.
For a skyscraper that is 32 stories tall, you would multiply 32 by 12: 32 x 12 = 384 feet.
So the estimated heights of skyscrapers that are 20, 24, 28, and 32 stories tall would be 240 feet, 288 feet, 336 feet, and 384 feet, respectively.
