Answer:

$12\ gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Determine the unit rate</u>

$Miles / Gallons$

$162\ miles / 9\ gallons$

$18\ miles/gallon$

<u>Step 2: Determine the amount of gasoline used for 216 miles</u>

$216\ miles * (gallon / 18\ miles)$

$12\ gallons$

Answer: $12\ gallons$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Figure out how many miles the car can go with one gallon of gasolline

162 ÷ 9 = 18

1 gallon = 18 miles

2. Figure out how many times 18 can go into 216

216 ÷ 18 = 12

12 gallons = 216 miles

*We do this because we know that every time the car drives 18 miles its uses another gallon of gas.

The car will use 12 gallons of gasoline to travel 216 miles.

Find the missing angle! Please add an explanation!

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The answer is: $58^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we add the angles inside a triangle, we must have $180^\circ$ . So we have an $57^\circ$ angle and an $65^\circ$ angle, their sum is $122^\circ$ , so the missing angle must be $180^\circ-122^\circ=58^\circ$

The formula for the area of a triangle is A==bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height.

zimovet [89]

Answer: Height is 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The area of the triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$

The area is given as 30

The base is given as 12

Plugging the values in formula

$30=\frac{1}{2} \times 12\times h$

$30=6\times h$

Dividing 6 in both sides

$\frac{30}{6}=\frac{6\times h}{6}$

$5=h$

$h=5$

Hence the height of the triangle is 5 units.........Answer
