The whole bill is $31.99 that is 100%. You can use mental math to determine exatcly 15% from $31.99:
1. 15%=10%+5%
2. To find 10% from $31.99 you should simply divide $31.99 by ten. Thus, 10% from $31.99 is $3.199.
3. 5% is half of 10%, then 5% from $31.99 is $3.199:2=$1.5995.
4. 15% from $31.99 is $3.199+$1.5995=$4.7985≈$4.80.
Answer: correct choice is B.
So legnt=l
width=w
l=-7+3w
l=3w-7
area=66
area=legnth times width or
area=lw
subisutte
area=lw
l=3w-7
66=(3w-7)(w)
66=3w^2-7w
subtrac 66 from both sides
0=3w^2-7w-66
factor
HOW TO
multiply 3 and -66=-198
find what 2 numbers add up to -7 and multiply to get -198
the numbers area 11 and -18
so
3w^2-18w+11w-66=0
factor
(3w^2-18w)+(11w-66)=0
(3w)(w-6)+(11)(w-6)=0
factor using distributive (ab+ac=a(b+c))
(3w+11)(w-6)=0
set them to zero
3w+11=0
subtract 11
3w=-11
legnths cannot be negative so we discard this
w-6=0
add 6
w=6
width=6
legnth=3w-7
length=3(6)-7
legnt=18-7
legnth=11
width=6
legnth=11
1 mile is the difference between mount Taylor and mount Sullivan
Answer: The flagpole is about 22.3 feet tall.
This is roughly the size of a two story building, assuming each floor is 10 feet or so.
Since this height is under 25 ft, this flagpole is in compliance with the regulation.
=====================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal leg of the triangle is 36 ft. This is the adjacent leg to the reference angle 25 degrees.
The vertical leg of the triangle is x-5.5, and this leg is the opposite side to the reference angle 25 degrees.
Use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.
Solve for x.
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(25) = (x-5.5)/36
36*tan(25) = x-5.5
x-5.5 = 36*tan(25)
x = 36*tan(25)+5.5
x = 22.28707569358
x = 22.3 ft is the approximate height of the flagpole
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
The height is not over 25 ft, so this flagpole meets the requirements.
