Answer:

A: 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply .6 by 4.5 and then you get 2.7
then add 2.7 and 4.5 and then you get 7.2

From base camp, a hiker walks 3.5 miles west and 1.5 miles north. Another hiker walks 2 miles east and 0.5 miles south. To the n

levacccp [35]

Answer:

The hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O represents the base camp,

Suppose after walking 3.5 miles west, first hiker's position is A, then after going 1.5 miles north from A his final position is B,

Similarly, after walking 2 miles east, second hiker's position is C then going towards 0.5 miles south his final position is D.

By making the diagram of this situation,

Let D' is the point in the line AB,

Such that, AD' = CD

In triangle BD'D,

BD' = AB + AD' = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 miles,

DD' = AC = AO + OC = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5 miles,

By Pythagoras theorem,

$BD^2 = BD'^2 + DD'^2$

$BD = \sqrt{2^2 + 5.5^2}=\sqrt{4+30.25}=\sqrt{34.25}\approx 5.9$

Hence, the hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

What is the distance between point R (−1, 7) and point T (−7, 7) ?

zepelin [54]

You can use the distance formula to find the distance between any two points ion the plane. In this case, look carefully at the coordinates:
R(-1, 7) and T(-7, 7), Notice they both have y-coordinate 7. That means they are both on the same horizontal line. To find their distance, just subtract -7 from -1 and take the absolute value.

|-1 - (-7)| = |-1 + 7| = |6| = 6

The distance is 6 units

I want to know the answer to the sum of f and 6

11111nata11111 [884]

f + 6 = ?

Well, the answer can be pretty much any number. It all depends on what number f is. f is a variable, so you can plug in any number to replace f.

For example, if f was 5, this is what the equation would look like:

5 + 6 = 11

If f was -3, this is what the equation would look like:

-3 + 6 = 3

So, again, the answer can be anything. It depends on what f is.

Given the isosceles trapezoid below, find AG.<br> Show all the work

Dmitry [639]

We know the width of the rectangle in the middle of the trapezoid is 24 (from the top of the image), so we can subtract that from the bottom width of the trapezoid to get the combined length of the bottom of both triangles.

$40 - 24 = 16$

Since this is an isosceles trapezoid, both triangle bases are the same length, so we can cut this value in half to get the length of $GT$ and $EF$

$\frac{16}{2} = 8$

Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of $AG$ :

$AG^{2} + GT^{2} = AT^{2}$

$AG^{2} + 8^{2} = 10^{2}$

$AG^{2} + 64 = 100$

$AG^{2} = 36$

$AG = 6$
