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

Carol's starting pay for her summer job is $10.25 per hour. Carol earns exactly 3 raises this summer.
kvv77 [185]
She starts off with $10.25 and gets a raise of $0.50, so she earns $10.75 per hour. Then she gets a raise of 10%, so then 10.75 x 0.10 = 1.075, so she earns $11.825 per hour. Then her third raise is $0.50 so she earns $12.325 per hour. The raise for next summer is 5%, so 12.325 x 0.05 = 0.61625, so she earns $12.94125.
She will earn about $12.94 per hour starting off next summer.

Oscar is buying 4 new tires for his car. He has $240 budgeted for the tires, but can afford to pay $35 more or less than that am
Pachacha [2.7K]

Given that the dealer sells a dozen tires for $240, every 3-tire set costs $60. There are six 2-tire sets in a dozen. Thus, his total revenue should be $360. The total profit is the difference between the total revenue and the total cost. The answer is therefore, the first choice, $120.
