Answer:
Hi, Hope this will help :-)
X + y = 180
x = 4y
Plug that in and you get: 4y + y = 180
5y = 180
y = 36
If you want the larger angle, simply plug in y to x = 4y
So: x = 4(36) = 144
The smaller angle is 36 degrees, and the larger angle is 144 degrees.
This is a conversion problem. We know that 1 mile is 5280 feet, right? Since Ellie lives 2 miles, and two is double of 1, we just take 5280 and multiply that by two (or add it twice) to find how many feet is between Ellie's house and school. 5280 x 2 = 10560 (you get the same answer if you add 5280 twice). Therefore, 10560 feet lies between Ellie's house and school.
