Answer:

(C) 245 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can view the starting and ending flight points as the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle. Since the plane flew 125 miles south, the height of the triangle is 125 and we are given the hypotenuse as 275

If we designate the height as a and the hypotenuse as h, and the base as b then
h² = a² + b²  by the Pythagorean  theorem

or

b² = h² - a² ==> (h + a)(h - a)   {x² - y² = (x + y) (x -y)}

Substituting known values
b² = 275² - 125² = (275 + 125)(275-125) = 400 x 150 = 60,000

b =  √60000 = 244.94 and the closest answer is C: 245 miles

Work out the height of a triangle with base b= 7.7mm and area a=164.78mm2
solong [7]

Answer:

21.4 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

area ÷ base = height

164.78 mm^2 ÷ 7.7 mm

21.4 mm

Check:

base • height = area

7.7 mm • 21.4 mm = 164.78 mm^2

Which value is a solution of the equation 2 - 8x = -6?<br> A. 1<br> B. 1/2<br> C. -1<br> D. 8
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

A.) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the equation to 2 + ( - 8x ) = -6 so it’s easier to read

Take away 2 from both sides

So now you have -8x = -8

Divide both sides by -8 so you get positive x and 1

x = 1
