0.48 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.
Step 2
Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]
Answer: x = -7
Concept:
From the given graph, we can see that it is an isosceles triangle since the two base angles are congruent.
In geometry, an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.
If you are still confused, you may refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation or tell me.
Solve:
<u>Given information</u>
First Side = 7
Second Side = x + 14
<u>Given expression deducted from the definition of an isosceles triangle</u>
Second Side = First Side
<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>
x + 14 = 7
<u>Subtract 14 on both sides</u>
x + 14 - 14 = 7 - 14

Answer:
(b) 40°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle x and the one marked 70° are alternate interior angles, so are congruent. The sum of the two base angles of the isosceles triangle is ...
x° +x° = 70° +70° = 140°
So, the remaining angle 1 in the triangle is ...
180° -140° = 40°
∠1 = 40°
