Answer:

55.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The range finder is 92 feet from the building and 106 feet from the top of the building i.e. hypotheses

We will use the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = 106^2 - 92^2

= 11,236 -  8,464

= 2,772

= √2,772

x = 52.64978632

The height of the building:

h = x + 3

= 52.64978632 + 3

= 55.64978632

or

≈ 55.64 feet

The value of a graphing calculator is $225. After 2 years, the value of this calculator is $160. Find the value of the calculato
OlgaM077 [116]
To find the value of the calculator after 5 years, you need to find how much the price of the calculator drops each year. From years 0 to 2, it seems that the price of the calculator has dropped by some amount of money x. To find how much the calculator drops each year, first you will need to subtract 160 from 225 (225-160) to get 65. Next, you need to divide 65 by 2 (65/2) to get $32.50.

I believe that in order to find the price after 5 years, you will need to multiply 32.5 by 5 (32.5*5) to get $162.50. Next you would subtract $162.50 from $225 (225.00-162.50) to get $62.50.

So, the price of the calculator after 5 years is $62.50!

I hope this helps!

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The system of equations is given as:

x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1

1.8x + 1.8y = 4.05....Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiran says, "I bought 2.5 pounds of red and yellow lentils. Both were $1.80 per pound. I spent a total of $4.05

Let

x represent red lentils

y represent yellow lentils.

x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1

x = 2.5 - y

$1.80 × x + $1.80 × y = $4.05

1.80x + 1.80y = 4.05....Equation 2

The system of equations is given as:

x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1

1.8x + 1.8y = 4.05....Equation 2
