Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The island taxi charges $5 for initial fee and $2 per mile.

For the island taxi to be $25 it would have to drive for 10 miles. (25-5=20) due to the initial fee puts you at 20. 20÷2 is 10. Meaning 10 miles for the island taxi.

Since the lyft charges a flat rate of $25 for any distance the only distance that matters is the island taxi.

Your answer is 10 miles.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

In calculating the average score, add the scores of each person and then divide it by the number of scores present. In this problem, Tony has forty seven points for five different quizzes. You are required to calculate for the average score of Tony. The formula is A = T/n, where A is the average score, T is the score, and n is the number of quizzes.  

A = T/n
A = 47/5
<u>A = 9.4</u> <span>               
Therefore, Tony has an average of 9.4 points in five different quizzes. </span>
