The Empire State Building is 1,454 feet tall (if you include the lightning rod). If a piece of gum is dropped from the top, how many seconds will it take for the gum to hit the street assuming no air resistance?

what are the statments

step-by-step explanation:

answer: translate the circles so they share a common center point and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3.

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
