The elevation represents a distance from the sea level greater than 5 feet,

because the original description specifies a distance greater than 5 feet

below sea level.

Reasons:

The elevation given as a distance is the height or distance above sea level.

In the above description, elevation is a vector, given that it has both

magnitude (distance) and direction (above sea level).

Distance is a scalar quantity, that has only a magnitude that specifies the

space covered during motion.

An elevation of less than -5 feet indicates that distance of the location

above sea level is less than -5 feet, which is the same as; the distance of

the location  below sea level is greater than 5 feet.

  • Less than -5 feet above sea level = Greater than 5 feet below sea level

Therefore;

  • An elevation of less than -5 feet represents a distance from (below) sea level greater than 5 feet

The car at each vertex of a Ferris wheel holds a maximum of 5 people. The sum of the measures of the angles of the Ferris wheel
larisa [96]

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum total of all the angles is 7,740 degrees,

The formula for the interior angle is 180(n - 2) where n is the number of sides in the polygon

Set this equal to 7740

180 (n-2) = 7740

Divide each side by 180

 180/180 (n-2) = 7740/180

  n-2 =43

Add 2 to each side

n-2+2 = 43+2

n = 45

Each vertex hold 5 people so take n and multiply by 5

45*5 = 225

The Ferris wheel holds 225 people

Is this an inequality or equation?
romanna [79]

Answer:

Equation

Step-by-step explanation:

A statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).

^^ This is the definition of equation

Difference in size, degree, circumstances, etc.; lack of equality.

^^ This is the definition for Inequality

The question moves more toward equation than inequality.
