Answer: x = 67.5 ft

Explanation:

Following the statements you can draw the triangles mnp and mab.

1) Both are similar triangles with the common vertex m, and with these corresponding sides:

- segment mn corresponding to ma
- segment np corresponding np
- segment mp corresponding mb

2) So, by side-angle-side theorem

segment ma         segment mb
------------------ = ---------------------
segment mn          segment mp

3) You know:

- segment mn = 71.5
- segment ma = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5
- segment mb = x
- segment mp = 97.5

4) Therefore:

    x            49.5
--------- =  ----------
97.5            71.5

5) Solve for x:

x = 97.5 * 49.5 / 71.5 = 67.5

Answer: x = 67.5 ft.

For a recent year, the rate of first-class postage is as follows:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that weight of the function = x

Given that cost of the postage for mail having weight less than or equal to 1 oz = $0.44

then to find the equation can be written as

C(x)=0.44  where 0<x<=1

Similarly we can write equation for other parts

C(x)=0.61  where 1<x<=2

C(x)=0.78  where 2<x<=3

C(x)=0.95  where 3<x<=3.5

Now we can write them together as piecewise function as shown in below:

C(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}0.44 & 0

to graph that we just draw horizontal lines for each as none equation contains x on the right side .

3.48 oz is less that 3.5 so we will use $0.95.
