<u>Answer: </u>

A count went up from 450 to 600.The percentage increase was approximately 33%.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that a count went up from 450 to 600

Initial value of count = 450

Final value of count = 600

We need to calculate percentage increase in count

Percentage increase is calculated by dividing the difference of final value of count and initial value of count by initial value and multiplied by 100

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Percentage increase }=\frac{( \text { Final value of count-Initial value of count) } }{\text { Initial value of count }} \times} {100}\end{array}$

On substituting the values, we get

$=\frac{(600-450)}{450} \times 100$

On simplifying,

$=\frac{150}{450} \times 100=\frac{100}{3}=33.33 \%$

Hence the percentage increase was approximately 33%.

The line of reflection is what the graph flips over. You can find the line with two points, and a point on the reflection line is the midpoint of a point and the corresponding point in the after-image.
The first one reflects over the y-axis, or x=0. One point is (-2, 1) and its corresponding point is (2, -1). The midpoint is found by the average of the two coordinates, which is (0,0). Pick another pair of points and find the midpoint which you should get (x,0).
You have two points (0,0) and (x,0) and they form a line, which is the y-axis, or x=0.
The line of reflection for the 1st one is x=0 (y-axis).

A camper wants to know the width of a river. From point A, he walks downstream 60 feet to point B and sights a canoe across the

Anarel [89]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is:

D. 40 feet.

To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:

$Tan\alpha =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$
