Answer:

22 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A towing company charges $50 plus $4 per mile

let the number of miles be x

the expression for the charges for x miles y is given as

y= 50+4x

for y= 138

138= 50+4x

138-50= 4x

88= 4x

x= 88/4

x= 22 miles

Hence the distance is 22 miles

Find the x-intercept of the line graphed by the equation x - 7y = 7. (0, 14) (7, 0) (14, 0) (0, 7)
Nastasia [14]
X-7y=7
To find the x-intercept, substitute y=0
x-7×0=7
x-0=7
x=7
∴ the x-intercept of the line is (7,0)

What is the angle, in degrees, if the Area is 180 square miles and the radius is 42,240 feet?
Savatey [412]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a circle (all 360°) is

pi×r²

with r being the radius.

the area of a circle segment is just the corresponding fraction of the whole circle.

so the area of a segment of x degrees is

pi×r² × x/360

in our case we know

pi×42240² × x/360 = 180 mi²

we also know that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile.

so, the radius is actually

42240 / 5280 = 8 miles

and therefore our equation resulting in mi² has to use miles and not ft and has to look that way :

pi×8² × x/360 = 180 mi²

pi×64 × x/360 = 180

pi×64 × x = 180×360

pi×x = 180×360/64 = 1012.5

x = 1012.5/pi = 322.2887598...°

so, the angle of the segment of a circle with the area of 180 mi² and the radius of 8 mi is 322.2887598...°
