Answer:

d = 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with angle BCA, tan(BCA) = 30/15 so BCA = 63.43 degrees.

BCA = ECD since they are opposite angles.

tan ECD = d/40

40 tan(63.4degrees) = d

d = 80 ft

Alternatively, you can use similar triangles since the angles are the same, BCA = ECD, CED = CAB, and CBA = EDC. In that case use proportions to get 30/15 = d/40 so 2 = d/40 and d = 80.

The total number of pears and oranges in a basket is between 30 and 40 . There are 25% more apple than orange how many apples ar
Verdich [7]

The number of apples there are in the basket as described in the task content is; 20 apples.

<h3>What is the number of apples there are in the basket?</h3>

Inference drawn from the task content show that;

  • The ratio of apples to oranges in the basket is; 5:4. making the total partitions be 9.

On this note, we must identify a number divisible by 9 between 30 and 40.

The number is 36 and once divided by 9 is 4 units per partition.

On this note, the total number of apples in the basket is; 4 × 5 = 20 apples.

never [62]
Answer:

Kyle would save more using his 15% off of $1000 coupon.

Explanation:

15 ÷ 100 • 1000 = 150

1000 - 150 = $850

$150 is the amount the 15% coupon took off.

$850 is the amount Kyle will pay.

vs.

1000 - 80 = $920
