Answer: x = $25.89

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a two step problem.  First we need to determine the number of gallons the car uses to drive the 250 miles:

250/28 ≈ 8.93 gallons

Then we just multiply the number of gallons by the price:

8.93 x 2.90 = $25.90

Alternate solution:  Use a proportion.  Since 1 gallon costs $2.90 and produces 28 miles, we can set up the following proportion:

2.90/28 = x/250

Cross-multiply and solve:

28x = 725

x = $25.89 (There is a one cent difference due to a rounding error in the first solution.  This solution avoids that error.)

<u>We are given:</u>

We know that the sum of all interior angles of a Pentagon is 540°

we are given 4 out of the 5 angles

<u>Solving for x:</u>

since the sum of all 5 angles is 540°:

75 + 130 + 135 + x + 90 = 540

x + 430 = 540

x = 540 - 430

x = 110°

Answer:

because Planet Earth is not flat, it's bulging. So we cannot take accurate and precise measurements from a reference line in terms of distance. Thus, we measure latitude and longitude.
