Answer: 8.55 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding the totals given in the problem together:

1.8 miles + 6.75 miles = 8.55 miles.

Therefore, because we descended the plane and are looking for the previous height, we just add the descent to the elevation AFTER descent.

if the store purchased a kitchen appliance for $42 and sold it for $58.80, what was the percent markup?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent markup = new price - original price/original price

Do the subtraction first.

58.80 - 42.00 = 16.80

Now do the division

16.8/42 = 0.40

Change the decimal to a percent by moving the decimal two place to the right.

0.40 = 40%

A farmer plans to fence a rectangular corral. The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five yards longer than the width of the corral. The length of the corral is three times the width.

To find: The length of the diagonal of the corral.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular garden be <em>x</em> yards.

So, the length of the diagonal is x+5

width of the rectangular corral is 3x

We know that the square of the diagonal is sum of the squares of the length and width.

So,

(3x)^{2} +x^{2} =(x+5)^{2}

9x^{2} +x^{2} =x^{2}+10x+25

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^{2} -4(9)(-25)} }{2(9)}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100}}{18}

Since, side can't be negative.

x=\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Now, length of the diagonal is

5+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Hence, length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.
