The fair will be traveling to a place that uses the metric system. They received directions to their next stop, but they are in

kilometers. They will need to convert their distances in miles to kilometers. Arlene takes the number of miles, doubles it, and then subtracts 20% of the result. Raul divides the number of miles by 5, then multiplies the result by 8. Write an algebraic expression for each method. Are these expressions equivalent?

Answer:

2x - 0.4x ;

8x/5 ;

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of miles = x

Arlene:

Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x

Subtract 20% of the result :

2x - 20% of 2x ;

2x - 0.4x

Raul:

Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5

Multiplies result by 8 ;

8 * (x/5) = 8x /5

To know if expressions are equivalent :

Let x = 10 miles

Using Arlene's expression:

2x - 0.4x

x = 10

2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16

Using Raul's expression :

8x / 5

(8*10) / 5

80/5

= 16

Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , thus

y = 180° - (55 + 41)° = 180° - 96° = 84°

z and y are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

z = 180° - 84° = 96°

x and 109° are alternate exterior angles and congruent, thus

x = 109°

A tree struck by lightning broke at a point 12 feet above the ground. What was the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a
algol13

Answer:

52.8 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram :

The height of tree woulb be :

Height above the ground (at breakpoint) + hypotenus

Hypotenus, h cab be obtained using Pythagoras rule :

h² = opp² + adj²

h² = 39² + 12²

h² = 1665

h = sqrt(1665)

h = 40.804 feets

Height of tree to the nearest tenth ;

40.804 feets + 12 feets

= 52.804 feets

= 52.8 feets

Determine the area. Can some guide me how to solve this?
san4es73 [151]
Split it up into compound shapes, calculate the areas individually and then add and subtract the relevant quantities.

For instance, the shape in part a can be split up into a quarter circle, a trapezium and a half circle. I have included a diagram that may be of assistance in understanding what I mean but I leave the calculations to you. (They're quite easy when you split the shape up anyway)
