Answer:

About 60.77 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached pic.

Blue line is of Bethany

Green line is of Ben

Red line is the distance between them [what we are trying to find]

We can use pythagorean theorem that tells us:

c^2=a^2+b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle [red lines in both respective triangles]

and

a, b are the two other sides of the triangle

Left Triangle (using pythagorean theorem):

Base is 30

Left side is 20 - 10 = 10

So,

c^2=30^2+10^2\\c=\sqrt{30^2+10^2} \\c=31.62

Right Triangle (using pythagorean theorem):

c^2=25^2 + 15^2\\c=\sqrt{25^2 + 15^2} \\c=29.15

Distance between Bethany and Ben = 31.62 + 29.15 = 60.77 feet

Johanna purchases a book for $14.95. There is a sales tax of 6.5%. How much is the final price with tax? What is the total? What
Nat2105 [25]
Okay so 6.5%  of $14.95 is 0.97175. That rounds to 0.97. And to get the total we just add 0.97 to 14.95. Our answer is 15.92. However if you don't want to round then you would add 14.95 and 0.97175 . This would give you15.92175. Hope this helps!
