A glider flies 13 miles north from the airport and then 24 miles diagonally southeast. Approximately how far west does the glide
NISA [10]

Answer:

20.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be described by the three sides of a right angled triangle. Let the distance of the glider to the airport be represented by x, applying the Pythagoras theorem:

/hyp/^{2} = /adj1/^{2} + /adj2/^{2}

/24/^{2} = /x/^{2} + /13/^{2}

576 = x^{2} + 169

x^{2} = 576 - 169

   = 407

x = \sqrt{407}

  = 20.1742

x = 20.2 miles

The glider has to fly 20.2 miles to return to the airport.

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?
mixer [17]

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.
