180^2 + 235^2 = (cliff base to point on bridge)^2
32400 + 55225 = 87625
so cliff base to point on bridge = sqrt of 87625.
Then notice 87625 + d^2 = (x+180)^2
since x^2 +235^2 = d^2,
substitute (x^2 + 235^2) for d^2, like this:
87625 + x^2 + 235^2 = (x+180)^2
87625 + x^2 + 55225 = x^2 + 360x + 32400
87625 + 55225 - 32400 = x^2 - x^2 +360x
360x = 110450
x = about 306.8 feet
h = x+180, so h = 486.8 feet
Remember d^2 = x^2 + 235^2, so
d^2 = 306.8^2 + 235^2
d^2 = 149354.6489
d = about 386.46 feet

What is the midpoint of the segment (-2,4) and (6,-4)
liberstina [14]
To find midpoint, we find the average or median of the two x terms and the average of the two y terms to find the right coordinate point. In this case, the average of -2 and 6 is 2, and the mean of 4 and -4 is 0, so the new coordinate point is (2,0).

Aiden buys two bags of chips at $1.09 each and a 20 ounce soda for $1.20 at the gas station.He knows that the state tax is 5.5.
Natalka [10]
Aiden will receive $1.43 from a $5 bill.

If the state tax is 5.5%, you can use the equation below to solve for the total cost, <em>t</em>.

<em>t</em> = 1.055 (2 × 1.09 + 1.20)
<em>t</em> = 1.055 (2.18 + 1.20)
<em /><em>t </em>= 1.055 (3.38)
<em>t </em>= 3.5659

You can round 3.5659 to $3.57. Finally, you subtract 3.57 from 5 to find the amount of change Aiden will receive, <em>c</em><em />.

<em>c </em>= 5 - 3.57
<em>c </em>= 1.43

If you can buy 1⁄3 of a box of chocolates for 6 dollars, how much can you purchase for 4 dollars?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

2/9 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 / 1 / 3 = 4 / b

Cross multiply the two

6b = 4/3

Multiply 1/6 on each side

B = 4 /18

It can be reduced to 2/9.
