Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC
AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence
AC = = 16
Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD
ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²
ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²
Equate both equations for AD², hence
256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²
-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )
- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )
40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )
x = 7.2 → C
Hello!
Since Trey pays a flat monthly $6 fee, we can subtract that from the total bill:
$12.27 - $6 = $6.72
That leaves us with a total of $6.72 paid for minutes. We are told that Trey is charged 8 cents per minute of usage. Using the information above, we can create the following equation:
$0.08 x (minutes) = $6.72
Now divide $0.08 from both sides of the equation and simplify:
x (minutes) =
minutes = 84
We have now proven that Trey was billed for 84 minutes.
I hope this helps!
