Answer:

4550 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

13000 x .65% = 8450 feet he has descended

13000 - 8450 = 4550 feet from the ground

Trava [24]
In here, we could write an equality as x – 12 < 65. In solving inequalities, we follow the same rule as solving algebraic expressions. We will transpose 12 to the other side, giving us x < 65 + 12. Simplifying, we have x < 77. Geraldo must have a bill less than $77 in order for him not to spend more than $65.

An arhitect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 20 inches. The length of the rectangle is to be 8 inches more than twic
kiruha [24]

The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)

w = width

l = length

In this problem,

The diagonal = 20 in

w = x

l = 2x + 8

Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.

20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)

Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt

20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)

Now, let's square both sides.

400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64

Subtract 400 from both sides.

0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336

Factor

0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)

Set both terms equal to zero and solve.

x + 12 = 0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x = -12

5x - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides.

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 28/5

The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5

Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.

Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5

In conclusion,

Length = 96/5 inches

Width = 28/5
