25% as a fraction is 1/4 or 25/100 so as a decimal its 1/4 of 1 which is .25
Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.
The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ?
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height) .
The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture. Take those, and use them to find the area.
Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).
Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top: Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.
You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.
Answer: The the speed of elevators is 22.55.
Explanation:
It is given that observation deck of the willis tower in Chicago Illinois is 1353 feet above the ground elevators lift visitors to that level in 60 seconds.
The speed is the change in distance with respect to time.
From the given information the total distance is 1353 and the total time is 60 seconds. So by the above formula we get,
Therefore, the speed of elevators is 22.55.
The slope is y=1/2x + 2 or y= 0.5x+2
Answer:
no it's not parallel to that.
