Answer:

20m

Step-by-step explanation:

Say you walk down the street for 10m. Then you take a left and walk for another 10m then go inside a bakery. You walked 10m on one street and 10m on another street to get to the bakery. In total you walked 20m to get to the bakery. We know this because 10 + 10 = 20.

I really do hope that this helps you! Have a blessed day!

AB = x + 15 DC = 4x AD = x + 10 BC = ? Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. Show

dexar [7]

Answer:

$BC=15\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram opposite sides are congruent

In this problem

we have that

AB and DC are opposite sides

AD and BC are opposite sides

AB=DC

AD=BC

step 1

Find the value of x

AB=DC

substitute the given values

$x+15=4x$

solve for x

$4x-x=15$

$3x=15$

$x=5\ units$

step 2

Find the length of AD

we have that

$AD=x+10$

substitute the value of x

$AD=5+10=15\ units$

step 3

Find the length of BC

Remember that

AD=BC ----> by opposite sides

therefore

$BC=15\ units$

Increase each of the following amounts by the percentage given.

umka21 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)90 by 10%

90+10% of 90=90(1+0.1)=99

(b)60 by 25%

60(1+0.25)=75

80(1+0.75)=140

(e)110 by 60%

110(1+0.6)=176

(f)480 by 115%

480(1+1.15)=1032

(g)140 by 45%

140(1+0.45)=203

Wendy is standing 60 feet away from a tree. Her eyes are 5 feet above the ground. She sees a bird hovering above a tree. The ang

Gennadij [26K]

The bird is 17 feet above the tree.

Explanation:

We need to think of this in terms of right triangles. If Wendy is 60 feet from a tree, the base of the right triangle is 60 feet. The height of the tree is the height of the right triangle. The angle of elevation is the one from the ground at her feet to the top of the tree and then to the bird. Let's start with the top of the tree first.

She's 60 feet away, we have the angle of elevation as 25 degrees, and we are looking for the height of the tree. In regards to the angle, the base of 60 is adjacent, and the height of the tree is opposite. The tangent ratio is height / base.

Let x be the height of the tree.

So,

$tan (25) = \frac{x}{60}$

$60 tan(25) = x\\\\x = 27.9 feet$

x is approximately 28 feet

Since, Wendy's eyes are 5 feet above the ground, the height of the tree becomes

28 + 5 = 33 feet

For bird

Let y be the height of the bird in the air

$tan(37) = \frac{y}{60} \\\\60 tan(37) = y\\\\y = 45.2 feet$

y is approximately 45 feet

Since, Wendy's eyes are 5 feet above the ground, the height of the tree becomes

45 + 5 = 50 feet

To know how far above the tree that bird is

50 - 33 = 17 feet

Therefore, the bird is 17 feet above the tree.
