Answer:
105°
Step-by-step explanation:
Measure of the third angle
= 180° - 18° - 57° (angle sum of triangle)
= 105°
Answer:
2321 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
When Cai traveled from New Orleans to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas the elevation changes from 7 ft below sea level to 2314 ft above sea level.
If we consider the elevation below sea level as negative and the elevation above sea level as positive, then the elevation changes from - 7ft to +2314 ft.
Therefore, the increment of elevation is by [2314 - (- 7)] = 2321 ft. (Answer)
The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:
S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people
We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:
Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer
Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.
Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
