Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.

Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.

3*2=6

20*6=120

Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.

10*3=30

120+30=150

The actual distance is 150 miles.

Hope this helps!

kifflom [539]

Answer:

\displaystyle a) \: {x}^{ \circ}  =  21.8 ^{ \circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given opposite and adjacent

we want to figure out x°

remember that,

\displaystyle \: \tan( \theta)  =  \frac{opp}{adj}

where our opp is 5 and adj is 12.5

let \theta be x°

so

\displaystyle \: \tan(  {x}^{ \circ} )  =  \frac{5}{12.5}

\displaystyle \: {x}^{ \circ}  =  \arctan \left( \frac{5}{12.5}  \right)

by using calculator

\displaystyle \: {x}^{ \circ}  =  21.8

hence,

our answer is a
