Answer:

9670 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?

we translate word problem to equation.

8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL

Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85

Remember, is means =

of means multiplication

So we have:

8219.5 = 0.85 * Total

Hence, total = [let total be 7]

8219.5 = 0.85 * t

t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet

Find/solve for x in the image above
Flura [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply we know this is an isosceles triangle meaning that:

The other angle is also 35.

With this information, we can say that as a triangle adds up to 180, we can put this in a formula:

x+35+35 = 180

x+70 = 180

x = 110

When I am multiplied by myself, I
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

21 & 22

42.25 ÷ 2 = 21.125.

21.125 rounded to the two nearest whole numbers is 21 and 22.

21 and 22 are the closest integers to 21.125.

The answer is 21 and 22.

Hope it helps!

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3) and (8,7).
Verizon [17]

Answer:

y + 3 = 10/11(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (-3, -3) and (8, 7), we can use these coordinates to solve for the slope of the line using the formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Let (x1, y1) = (-3, -3)

(x2, y2) = (8, 7)

Substitute these values into the slope formula:

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{7 - (-3)}{8 - (-3)} = \frac{10}{11}

Thus, slope (m) = 10/11.

Next, using the slope (m) = 10/11, and one of the given points (-3, -3), we'll substitute these values into the point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Let (x1, y1) = (-3, -3)

m = 10/11

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-3) = 10/11[x - (-3)]

Simplify:

y + 3 = 10/11(x + 3) this is the point-slope form.
