20 POINTS To calculate the cost of painting his silo, a farmer must find its height. The farmer uses a cardboard square to line up the top and bottom of the silo as shown in the diagram below. Approximate the height of the silo, rounded to the nearest foot.

Approximate height of the silo is 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying geometric mean theorem in the given right triangle ABC,

AD² = BD × CD

8² = 5 × (BC - BD) [Since, CD = BC - BD]

64 = 5(BC - 5)

BC - 5 =

BC - 5 = 12.8

BC = 17.8

BC ≈ 18 feet

Therefore. approximate height of the silo is 18 feet.

i think thats the answer i checked it on google

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
