Since he descended 12 meters, we subtract this from the overall height of Mount Ka'ala, so then we are only calculating how high ABOVE the sea level it is.
1232 - 12 = 1220
The height of Mount Ka'ala is therefore 1,220 meters.
To calculate how much a fifth of Mount Ka'ala is (since the ranger station is 2/5's up), we would divide this number by 5
1220 ÷ 5 = 244
Since ONE fifth of the height is 244 meters, TWO fifths would be double that amount.
244 x 2 = 488
488 meters.
The ranger station is 488m above sea level.
All we have to do here is to express numbers 40 and 5 in each of equations. Note that first number in brackets is always x coordinate and second number is y coordinate
First equation:
5 = 40*8 false
Second
5 = 5*40 false again
Third:
5 = 40/8 = 5 True
checking for just in case last one:
5 = 40/5 = 8 False
Correct one is C)
Answer:
x=-5, 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because there is absolute value symbol and is equal to 5.
Answer: the length is 6 feet. The width is 2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden pool is rectangular in shape.
Let L represent the length of the rectangular garden.
Let W represent the width of the rectangular garden.
The area of a rectangle is expressed as L× W. The area of the rectangular garden pond is 12ft^2. It means that
L× W = 12 - - - - - - - - - - 1
The length of the pool needs to be 2ft more than twice that width. This means that
L = 2W + 2 - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes
W(2W + 2) = 12
2W^2 + 2W = 12
2W^2 + 2W - 12 = 0
W^2 + W - 6 = 0
W^2 + 3W - 2W - 6 = 0
W(W + 3) - 2(W + 3) = 0
W - 2 = 0 or W + 3 = 0
W = 2 or W = - 3
Since the Width cannot be negative, then the width is 2 feet
Substituting W = 2 into equation 2. It becomes
L = 2×2 + 2 = 6 feet
Answer:
6 is the answer. Hope this helps.
