This strategy works because if you subtract one number from another the sum of the two numbers should be the that is being subtracted from. (In this case, it's 200)
Answer:
160 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Company A form $130 a day plus $0.30 per mile
Company A = 130 + 0.30x
Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.80 per mile
Company B = 50 + 0.80x
Where,
x = number of miles
Equate the cost of company A and company B
130 + 0.30x = 50 + 0.80x
Collect like terms
130 - 50 = 0.80x - 0.30x
80 = 0.50x
Divide both sides by 0.50x
x = 80 / 0.50
= 160
x = 160 miles
The number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is 160 miles
The first rectangle has a length of 20cm and a width of 2cm for the area to be 40cm. so, the dimensions must be multiplied by 4 to equal 160cm.
Make a drawing with a right triangle.
The opposite side, y, is the height of the dam less 1.65 m
The base or adjacent side is 90 m
The angle between the two sides is 90 m.
Then tan (26) = y / 90
y = 90 tan(26) = 90 (0.4877) = 43.90 m
The height of the dam is 43.90m + 1.65m = 45.55 m
