Question

The trans American pyramid in San Francisco is 76 meter taller than the space needle in Seattle .

What is the height of the space needle ?


The gateway arch is 8 meters taller than the space needle .what is the height of the gateway arch ?

Answer 1

Height of the trans American pyramid = a

Height of the space needle = s

Height of the gateway arch = g

Given,

s + 76 = a

and,

s + 8 = g

Also,

s = a - 76

s = g - 8

Now,

a - 76 = g - 8

a - g = -8 + 76

a - g = 68

(s + 76) - g = 68

(s + 76) - g = 68

s + 76 - g = 68

s - g = 68 - 76

s - g = -8

(g - 8) - g = -8
