D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222  miles

A jewelry store purchases necklaces for n dollars each. The necklaces are then marked up by 20%, and costumers are charged 5% sa
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = $n

Mark up price = selling price- cost price

= (20% × $n)

Selling price = $n + (20% × $n)

Sales tax = 5% × ($n + (20% × $n))

Total cost = selling price + sales tax

Total cost = $n + (20% × $n) + 5% × $n + (20% × $n)

= 1.2 × $n + 0.06 × $n

= 1.26 × $n.

What is the solution set of the equation?<br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%20-18%2B9x%3Dx" id="TexFormula1"

Answer:

  x ∈ {2.07014981016}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be rewritten as ...

  √x = 18-8x

  x = 324 -288x +64x²

  64x² -289x +324 = 0

  x = (289 ±√577)/128 ≈ {2.07015, 2.44548}

Since √x must be positive, we know that ...

  18 -8x ≥ 0

  x ≤ 18/8 = 2.25

The larger of the above solutions is extraneous, so the solution set is ...

  x ∈ {(289 -√577)/128} ≈ {2.07015}

Step-by-step explanation:

if a 45 minute workout is 1000 calories, at the same rate, a 12 minute workout would be 266 calories and 2 thirds. \frac{12}{45} x 1000 = 266\frac{2}{3}

99 POINTS! If the area of the figure is 16 square centimeters, what is the height of the triangle?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The height of the triangle is 3.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle = 16 cm^2

Base of the triangle = 10 cm

Height of the triangle = h cm

Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}\times Base\times height

16 cm^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 10 cm \times h

h = 3.2 cm

The height of the triangle is 3.2 cm.
