<h3>Answer:</h3>

x=2

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Using similarity and enlargement;

  • ΔABE is similar to ΔACD
  • Therefore, the ratios of corresponding sides will be equal.
  • That is; AC/AB = AD/AE = CD/BE

In this case;

AC = 48

AB = 36

AE = 24

AD = 24 + 6x - 4

     = 20 + 6x

Therefore;

\frac{48}{36}=\frac{20+6x}{24}

Thus;

(48 × 24) = 36(20 + 6x)

1152 = 720 + 216x

216x = 1152 - 720

216x = 432

     x = 432 ÷ 216

       = 2

Therefore, the value of x is 2

A bird flies from the bottom of a canyon that is 71 4/5 feet below sea level to a nest that is 875 7/10 feet above sea level. Wh
Rainbow [258]

The difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest is 947 1/2 feet

<h3>What is the difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Nest = 71 4/5 feet above the seal level

Bottom of canyon = 875 7/10 below sea level

Below sea level means negative

So, we have:

Nest = 71 4/5 feet

Bottom of canyon = -875 7/10

The difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest is calculated as

Difference = |Nest - Bottom of canyon|

This gives

Difference = |71 4/5 - (-875 7/10)|

Evaluate the difference

Difference = |947 1/2|

Remove the absolute bracket

Difference = 947 1/2

Hence, the difference in elevation between the bottom of the canyon and the​ bird's nest is 947 1/2 feet
