3 RIGHT TRIANGLES

1 big right triangle is divided into 2 smaller ones. Medium and small.

<span> a.How far is the spot on the beach from the parking lot? </span>

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = x

Small triangle: long leg = x ; short leg = 18m

32/x = x/18

32*18 = x*x

576 = x²

√576 = √x²

24 = x    

Parking lot to the beach is 24 meters.

<span>b. How far will he have to walk from the parking lot to get to the refreshment stand?</span>

Use Pythagorean theorem:

Medium triangle: long leg = 32 m ; short leg = 24 m ; hypotenuse = ?

32²+ 24² = c²

1024 + 576 = c²

1600 = c²

√1600 = √c²

40 m = c

Parking lot to refreshment stand is 40 meters.

A new car costs $8000 at full price. With a sales tax of 5.75%, how much will the car cost in total?​
ioda

Answer:

$8460

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this problem we will use the base price of $8000 and add the additional cost of the 5.75% to find the total cost for the car.

So, to find the 5.75%, we simply multiply 8000 by .0575 to get 460.

So 8000 + 460 = 8460.

Thus, the total price of the car would be $8460.

Cheers.

Estimate the time Juanita will arrive at her aunt's home 320 miles away if she leaves at 9:00 a.m., drives about 60 miles per ho
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

D. 3:00 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

d = Distance = 320 miles

s = Speed = 60\ \text{mph}=\dfrac{60}{3600}=\dfrac{1}{60}\ \text{miles/s}

Time taken is given by

t=\dfrac{d}{s}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{320}{\dfrac{1}{60}}\\\Rightarrow t=19200\ \text{s}

40 minutes break is 40\times 60=2400\ \text{s}

Total time taken is 19200+2400=21600\ \text{s}=\dfrac{21600}{60\times 60}=6\ \text{hours}.

So, the entire trip took 6 hours. 6 hours after 9 a.m. is 3 p.m.
