$\frac{ \tan(58) }{1} = \frac{x}{24}$

x = how high the kite is

x = 24 × tan(58)

x is approximately 38 meters

Courtney is twice as old as Andre and three years older than Natalie. Courtney is half Shari's age. The difference between Shari

lesantik [10]

The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.

Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:

C = 2A

C = N + 3

C = S/2

S - N = C + A

S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have

2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2

C + 3 = C + C/2

C/2 = 3 and C = 6

A = C/2

A= 6/2

A = 3

N = C - 3

N = 6 - 3

N = 3

S = 2C

S = 2 x 6

S = 12.

C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12

Two trains start from Fort Worth traveling at the same speed. The trip for Train W takes 20 hours, while the trip for Train Z ta

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The equation that best models this situation is :

b. $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = 2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for Train W to complete a trip = 20 hours

Time taken for Train Z to complete a trip = 25 hours

The city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to.

both trains have same speeds and start from same location.

To find the distance in total each train travels.

Solution:

<em>Let length of the trip of Train W be </em>= $x$ miles

Speed of Train W can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}\ miles/h$

<em>So, the length of the trip of Train Z will be</em> = $(x+400)$ miles

Speed of Train Z can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x+400}{25}\ miles/h$

Since the speeds are same, so the equation to find $x$ can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Solving for $x$

Multiplying both sides by 100 to remove fractions.

⇒ $100\times \frac{x}{20}=100\times \frac{x+400}{25}$

⇒ $5x=4(x+400)$

Using distribution.

⇒ $5x=4x+1600$

Subtracting both sides by $4x$

⇒ $5x-4x=4x-4x+1600$

⇒ $x=1600$

Thus, Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = $1600+400$ = 2,000 miles

An angle measures 88° more than the measure of a complementary angle. what is the measure of each angle?

aleksandrvk [35]

Let one angle be x
Let second angle be 88+x
Sum of two complementary angles = 90°
x+ 88+ x = 90°
2x + 88 = 90
2x = 90 - 88 = 2
x = 2/2 = 1

First angle = x = 1°
Second angle = 88 + x = 88+1 = 89°
I hope it is helpful:D
