The height of tower a is 802 feet more than tower
b. The two towers have a combined height of 1226 feet. What are the heights of each​ tower?

Respuesta :

The height of tower A is 1016 feet and tower B is 212 feet.

Explanation

Suppose , the height of tower B is [tex]h[/tex] feet.

As the height of tower A is 802 feet more than tower  B , so the height of tower B will be : [tex](h+802) feet[/tex]

Given that, the two towers have a combined height of 1226 feet.

So, the equation will be...

[tex]h+(h+802)=1226\\ \\ 2h=1226-802\\ \\ 2h=424\\ \\ h= \frac{424}{2}=212[/tex]

Thus, the height of tower B is 212 feet and height of tower A is (212+802) feet = 1016 feet.
