. You travel 90 feet west to point b and then 36 feet south to point C. You travel 100 feet more to arrive point E, which is due east of the lighthouse. What is the distance from point E to the lighthouse?

Answer: The distance from point E to the lighthouse = 250 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, after making the diagram of this situation,

We get two triangles ABC and CED,

In which AB = 90 feet, BC = 36 feet and CE = 100 feet,

Now,

\angle ACB\cong \angle ECD        ( Vertically opposite angles )

\angle ABC\cong \angle DEC         ( Right angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ABC\sim \triangle DEC

By the property of similar triangles,

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}

\frac{90}{ED}=\frac{36}{100}

9000=36DE

250=DE

Since, point D represents the lighthouse.

Hence, the distance from point E to the lighthouse = 250 feet

If the cost of a dress is $75.00 and
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price =$75.00

Sale price =$60.00

The percentage discount can be calculated by dividing the sale price by the original price multiplied by 100%.

So % discount = $60.00/$75.00 x 100%

0.8 x 100%

80%

Janelle got the dress on a discount of 80%.

This is so because she got the dress for a price less than the original price
