Answer:

The distance between the pirate and the treasure can be found from the following relationship between ΔEAF and ΔABC;

\overline{AE}/\overline{AB} =  \overline{FA}/\overline{AC} = \overline{EF}/\overline{BC}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question diagram, we have two triangles, ΔEAF and ΔABC;

The ratio of the lengths of the sides \overline{AE}/\overline{AB} =  \overline{FA}/\overline{AC}

∠EAF and ∠BAC are vertical angles, therefore ∠EAF = ∠BAC

Therefore, ΔEAF and ΔABC are similar triangles by Side-Angle-Side, SAS, rule of similarity which states that two triangles that have ratios of a pair of their corresponding sides and the two sides also form equal angles within each triangle, then the two triangles are similar

Therefore, the ratio of the each pair of corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal

We have;

\overline{AE}/\overline{AB} =  \overline{FA}/\overline{AC} = 50 ft. /(100 ft.) =  \overline{EF}/\overline{BC} = \overline{EF}/120 ft.

\overline{EF} = 120 ft. × 50 ft./(100 ft.) = 60 ft.

\overline{EF} = 60 ft.

The distance between the pirate and the treasure, \overline{EF} = 60 ft.

Which one of the following is not closed under the operation being performed
Sergeu [11.5K]
Remember that polynomials are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but they are not closed under division. The only division you have there is B; therefore the correct answer is B.

A. (14x-2)3(x-2)=14 x^{2} -90x+10. The result is still a polynomial; therefore, answer A is incorrect.

B. \frac{(14x-2)}{3(x-2)} =  \frac{14}{3} with a remainder of 26. The result is not a polynomial anymore; therefore, B is the correct answer.

C. (14x-2)+3(x+2)=17x+4. The result is still a polynomial; therefore, answer C is incorrect.

D. (14x-2)+3(x+2)=17x+4. The result is still a polynomial; therefore, answer D is incorrect.

How many times will the digit "3" appear if we write all whole numbers from 1-9999?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

4000

Step-by-step explanation:

from 1 - 1000 = 300

1's    = 100

10's  = 100

100's = 100

1000's = 0

300 * 10 = 3000

then add in all the 3000's (ie 3001,3002, etc ) that adds one more thousand

3000 + 1000 = 4000

Norma-Jean [14]

The opening balance of the March billing cycle for Bernice's credit card = $2374.

Amount of new purchase = $200 on the 20th of March.

She did purchase only of $200 in that March month.

We are given that she didn't do any payment.

So, still she has balance $2374 till end of the month.

Therefore, her average daily balance is $2374.00

So, the correct option is  B. $2374.00.
