I'd suggest you sketch this situation. If you did, you'd likely see right away that the shortest distance back to the starting point would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are of lengths 5 miles and 12 miles.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.
5% of $50 = 5/100 x 50 = $2.50
Total = 50 + 2.50 = $52.50
The saes tax is $2.50; her total cost of the shirt is $52.50
Answer:
x = 25
<B = 120 degrees
<C = 30 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Total angle measure of a triangle - 180 degrees
Add all the angles together to find the value of x
30 + 4x + 20 + x + 5 = 180
55 + 5x = 180
55 - 55 + 5x = 180 - 55
5x = 125

x = 25
<B = 4(25) + 20
<B = 100 + 20
<B = 120
<C = 25 + 5
<C = 30
