a. Based on the AA similarity theorem, Gilligan can conclude that, ΔABC ~ ΔSDC.

b. To the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance from the ship to the shore is: 847.8 ft.

<h3>What are Similar Triangles?</h3>

The ratios of the corresponding sides of two triangles that are similar are equal.

Two triangles with two pairs of congruent angles are similar to each other based on the AA similarity theorem.

a. In ΔABC and ΔSDC, there are two pairs of congruent angles - ∠DCS ≅ ∠BCA (vertical angles) and ∠ABC ≅ ∠SDC (right angles)

Therefore, based on the AA similarity theorem, Gilligan can conclude that, ΔABC ~ ΔSDC.

b. AB = 150 ft

Distance from the ship to the shore = SD = ?

DC = 130 ft

CB = 23 ft

Thus:

AB/SD = CB/DC

Substitute

150/SD = 23/130

SD = (150×130)/23

SD = 847.8

Thus, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the distance from the ship to the shore is: 847.8 ft.

F + 0.3 < 1.7 <br><br> Graph the solution on a number line

rusak2 [61]

So we can do anything to the equation as long as we do it to both sides
f+0.3<1.7
subtract 0.3 from both sides
f+0.3-0.3<1.7-0.3
f+0<1.4
f<1.4
so f is less than 1.4 not including 1.4
a number line would have a dot that is NOT filled in on 1.4 and then from that dot, it would go in the negative direction forever (normally to the left)

number line included

Rally Co.'s fixed costs to produce toy trucks are $200,000. The variable costs to produce each truck are $4. They will price

GaryK [48]

Answer:

<em>Their total sales (revenue) when they break-even is $250,000</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some situations can be mathematically represented as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two independent data to build it up.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

y = mx + b

Where m and b are constant values.

The total cost function for Rally Co.'s to produce x toy trucks is:

C(x) = 200,000 + 4x

Given they sell each truck for $20, the revenue function is:

R(x)= 20x

The break-even condition is when the costs and the revenue are equal:

20x = 200,000 + 4x

Subtracting 4x:

16x = 200,000

Dividing by 16:

x = 200,000/16

x = 12,500 toy trucks

The revenue at this production level is:

R(x)= 20*12,500=250,000

Their total sales (revenue) when they break-even is $250,000
