Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

234.25$ : 100 = 252.99$ : x

234.25x = 252.99 x 100

234.25x = 25299

25299 divided by 234.25 is 108

so answer 8%

During an Apollo moon landing, reflecting panels were placed on the moon. This allowed Earth-based astronomers to shoot laser be

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The distance between the astronomers and the moon was $7.56*10^{8]$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the speed is the distance divided by the time, so:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

In this problem, we have that:

The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. This means that $t = 2.52$ .

If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon?

We have that $v = 3*10^{8}$ m/s.

We have to find d. So:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

$d = vt$

$d = 3*10^{8}*2.52$

$7.56*10^{8]$

The distance between the astronomers and the moon was $7.56*10^{8]$ meters.

What is the value of x ??? in trapezoid ABCD?? <br> HELP ASAP

Alexeev081 [22]

It would be 15 because the way you would set it up is equal to 180 because they are opposite and they have to add up to 180 in order for the whole shape to be 360. so 3x+9x=180 and then 12x=180 and divide 180 by 12 which is 15 and you can also plug in 15 to check
