Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+4) - 10 =14
distribute the 2 2x +8 -10 +14
simplify 2x-2=14
add 2 2x=16
devide by 2 x=8
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 20
<h3>
Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
566^2+x^2 = 965^2
x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2
x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )
x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate
x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place
Ft. Lauderdale is a city that stretches several miles, and Haiti
is a whole country, that's many miles wide and many miles high.
In order to nail down a reliable answer, you'd really need to specify
one point in Ft. Lauderdale and one point in Haiti.
If you start at the northwest end of Runway-13 at Ft. Lauderdale
Executive Airport, and take the shortest possible route to the east
end of Runway-28 at the Aeroport International de Port au Prince
at Haiti's capital city, you'd have to travel 727.57 miles.
But if you start in Ft. Lauderdale at the intersection of Griffin Rd
and Ravenswood Rd, and take the shortest possible route to the
Dispensaire de Bord-de-Mer hospital on Haiti's north coast, you'd
only have to travel 613.63 miles.
You really need to say WHERE in Ft. Lauderdale and WHERE in Haiti.
