Answer:

9.65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Final elevation = 8.05 miles

Change in elevation = 1.6 miles

Let Initial elevation which is the elevation before descent = x

Initial elevation - change in = final elevation

(-ve) sign because it was a descent

x - 1.6 = 8.05

x = 8.05 + 1.6

x = 9.65 miles

Hence, elevation before descent is 9.65 miles

Pythagoras was born about 582 bc. Isaac Newton was born in 1643 ad. How many years apart were they born?
malfutka [58]
B.C. counts down to 0, and that's when A.D. starts counting up. That means you can add 582 and 1643, to get their difference. Pythagoras and Newton were born 2,225 years apart.
