Answer:

8 Feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

If the salmon were initially 5 feet below the surface, and then travelled down an additional 3 feet from the initial 5, then the new position would be 8 feet down relative to the surface.

You can write this as -5 + -3 = -8, assuming that 0 represents surface level.

Cheers.

36°<br> Diagram NOT<br> accurately drawn<br> Work out the size of angle y.
vovikov84 [41]
The angles in a isosceles triangle add up to 180 degrees.
so 180 degrees take away 36 degrees = 144 degrees.
base angles in a isoceles triangle are equal so 144 divided by 2 = 72 degrees.
so to find out y you do 360 - 72 = 288 degrees
therefore y = 288degrees

The height of a parallelogram is 5 feet more than it's base. If the area of the parallelogram is 204 square feet, what is its ba
siniylev [52]
The base is x.
The height is 5 feet more than the base, so it's x+5.
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The area is 204 square feet.

x(x+5)=204 \\&#10;x^2+5x=204 \\&#10;x^2+5x-204=0 \\&#10;x^2+17x-12x-204=0 \\&#10;x(x+17)-12(x+17)=0 \\&#10;(x-12)(x+17)=0 \\&#10;x-12=0 \ \lor \ x+17=0 \\&#10;x=12 \ \lor \ x=-17

The length of the base of a parallelogram must be a positive number, so x=12.

\hbox{the base:} \\ x=12 \\ \\&#10;\hbox{the height:} \\ x+5=12+5=17

The base is 12 feet long, the height is 17 feet long.
