Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wide of river is $50\ ft$

EG=EF

$EG=20*(2\frac{1}{2})=20*\frac{5}{2}=50\ ft$

Given that LON is a right angle, find the measure of x.

sveta [45]

Answer:

$x=30\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m∠LOM+m∠MON=m∠LON ----> by angle addition postulate

we have

m∠LOM=2x°

m∠MON=x°

m∠LON=90° ----> is a right angle

substitute the values

$2x+x=90$

solve for x

$3x=90$

$x=30\°$

Charles Lindbergh flew 3,610 miles in 33.5 hours

To find out the unit rate, divide the total distance by the total time

$\frac{3,610}{33.5}= 107.76\frac{miles}{hour}$
