Answer:

1,737.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the length of the bridge consists of 2 right triangles as shown in the diagram. Use pythagorean theorem to find the other missing leg of each right triangle.

Let the missing leg for each triangle be x and y respectively.

Length of bridge = x + y

✔️x = √(1115² - 860²) = √503,625

x ≈ 709.7 (nearest tenth)

✔️y = √(1340² - 860²)

y ≈ 1,027.6 (nearest tenth)

✔️ Length of bridge = 709.7 + 1,027.6 = 1,737.3 ft

16. Find the values of x and y. (2y + 5) (5x - 17) (3x – 11)º
serg [7]

Answer:

x = 26

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x - 17)° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles in a straight line)

Solve for x

5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180

Collect like terms

5x + 3x - 17 - 11 = 180

8x - 28 = 180

Add 28 to both sides

8x = 180 + 28

8x = 208

Divide both sides by 8

x = 208/8

x = 26

Also:

(2y + 5)° + 90° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles on a straight line)

Plug in the value of x and solve for y

2y + 5 + 90 + 3(26) - 11 = 180

2y + 5 + 90 + 78 - 11 = 180

Collect like terms

2y + 162 = 180

Subtract 162 from both sides

2y = 180 - 162

2y = 18

y = 9 (dividing both sides by 2)

Arthur bought a life insurance policy at $10.98 per month for a 20 year term. What will he pay over 20 years for the premium?
andre [41]
12(months) x 20 (years) = 240

10.98 x 240 = 2635.20

So Arthur will pay $2635.20 over 20 years for premium.

I hope this helps :)
