Answer:

  • A. 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem we can find the height:</u>

  • x² + 40² = 50²
  • x² = 2500 - 1600
  • x² = 900
  • x = √900
  • x = 30 ft

Option A is correct

X and y are in direct proportion, when x is 8, y is 12. Which of the following is not a
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

if x varies directly as y,

x = ky

8 = 12k

12k = 8

k = 8/ 12

k = 2/3,

x = 2/3 y

now substitute the value of any of the numbers of each pair, and check if it works:

for e.g, find x when y = 15

x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 15

x = 10

since you obtain x = 10 when y = 15, the pair is a possible corresponding value of x and y. now do the same for the rest .

ii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 3, when y = 3

x = 2

hence, this is also a possible pair of x and y values.

iii) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 9 when y = 9

x = 6

again, a possible pair of x and y values.

iv) x = 2/3y

x = 2/3 × 20 when y = 20

x = 40/3

here, when y = 20, x is not 15. it is 40/3.

thus, it can be determined that this is not a possible pair of x and y values.

please try to understand and have a great day!

Answer: 11,440 ft change in altitude

Step-by-step explanation: To do this equation, you first need to find a positive number that is high enough to reach positive 11,100. Because we are not starting at zero on the number line and are instead starting at negative 340, the number will be a little higher than 11,100. The simplest way to find the answer is by changing negative 340 to a positive value and adding it to positive 11,100. This should equal 11,440 To prove this, grab a calculator and add 11,440 to negative 340. To make 340 a negative integer, type in that number and then click the button that looks like this, +/_ Once you have added 11,440 to negative 340, the sum of the two integers should pop up as 11,100 on your calculator. The final and correct answer is equivalent to a 11,440-foot change in altitude.
