we know that

The metric system is a called a decimal-based system because it is based on multiples of ten.

Part 1) When you move the decimal point two places to the left to convert a metric unit it is the same as ?

It's the same as dividing the measurement by 100.

Part 2) When you move the decimal point two places to the right to convert a metric unit it is the same as ?

It's the same as multiplying the measurement by 100.

A blimp is 1500 meters high in the air and measures the angles of depression to two stadiums to the west of the blimp. If those

grigory [225]

Let stadium 1 be the one on the left and stadium 2 the one on the right.

Angle above stadium 1 is 72.9° and the angle above stadium 2 is 34.1° using the angle property of alternate angles(because both the ground and the dotted line are parallel).

For the next part we need to use the trigonometric function of tangent.

As tan x = opposite / adjacent,
Tan 72.9°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 1)

Therefore the adjacent is 1500/tan 72.9°= 461.46 m( to 5 s.f.)

Same for the next angle,
Tan 34.1°=1500/ adjacent ( the ground from O to stadium 2)

Therefore, the adjacent is 1500/tan 34.1° = 2215.49 m (to 5 s.f.)

Thus, the distance between both stadiums is 2215.49-461.46= 1754.03 m

Correcting the answer to whole number gives you 1754 m which is the option C.

Find the value of x in the figure below. 26 56 Х

SashulF [63]

The answer is 30

Explanation:

So all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees and so if you split the triangle into separate triangles then you can add up the angles that are known and subtract from 180 to get the size of the missing angle e.g 90 + 56 = 146, 180 -146 = 34 for the other triangle 90 + 26 = 116, 180 - 116 = 64 and so 64 - 34 = 30

- Ms. McNeil buys 2.4 gallons of gasoline. The total cost is $7.56. The

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The price of one gallon of gasoline is $3.15

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lady buys 2.4 gallons of gasoline for a total of $7.56, then as the problem suggests, one can find the unknown price of gasoline per gallon (p) by solving the equation for the unknown "p":

2.4 p = 7.56

then divide both sides by 2.4 to isolate the unknown "" on one side of the equal sign:

p = 7.56/2.4

p = $3.15

so this is the price per gallon of gasoline.
