Question

37. Apply Math Models A city planning

commission must determine whether to
approve the construction of a new building.
The company wants to build in an area of
the city that has a height limitation of 310 feet.
The plans show that the first floor of the
building is 20 ft high and each of the next 15
floors have a height of 11 ft, including the
space between each floor needed for electrical
plumbing, and other systems. If the plan meets
all other city code requirements, should the
city commission approve the building plan?
Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes, because the total height will be 185 ft, which is less than the 310 ft limit.

Explanation:

`20+(15)(11)=185 < 310`
