Answer:

BC ≈ 14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

BC² + AB² = AC²

BC² + 18² = 23²

BC² + 324 = 529 ( subtract 324 from both sides )

BC² = 205 ( take square root of both sides )

BC = $\sqrt{205}$ = 14.317.. ≈ 14 units ( to the nearest unit )

A cable car begins its trip by moving up a hill. As it moves up, it gains elevation at a constant rate of 50 feet/minute until i

asambeis [7]

Answer:

he cable car's elevation will be 750 feet after 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

elevation, e =2,000 feet

rate, I = 50 feet/minute

The equation that models the car's elevation, e, after t minutes is e = |t

The cable car's elevation will be 750 feet after how many minutes?

since, e = It

for 2,000 feet = 50 feet/minute * t

t = 2000/50 =40minutes

using the same constant rate, I for 750ft, T =

since, e = It

for 750 feet = 50 feet/minute * t

t = 750/50 =15minutes
