<h3>
Answer: Choice D) 31.2 miles</h3>
This value is approximate.
============================================================
Explanation:
Let's focus on the 48 degree angle. This angle combines with angle ABC to form a 90 degree angle. This means angle ABC is 90-48 = 42 degrees. Or in short we can say angle B = 42 when focusing on triangle ABC.
Now let's move to the 17 degree angle. Add on the 90 degree angle and we can see that angle CAB, aka angle A, is 17+90 = 107 degrees.
Based on those two interior angles, angle C must be...
A+B+C = 180
107+42+C = 180
149+C = 180
C = 180-149
C = 31
----------------
To sum things up so far, we have these known properties of triangle ABC
- angle A = 107 degrees
- side c = side AB = 24 miles
- angle B = 42 degrees
- angle C = 31 degrees
Let's use the law of sines to find side b, which is opposite angle B. This will find the length of side AC (which is the distance from the storm to station A).
b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
b/sin(42) = 24/sin(31)
b = sin(42)*24/sin(31)
b = 31.1804803080182 which is approximate
b = 31.2 miles is the distance from the storm to station A
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
Answer:
The expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles triangle has two sides equal which are the triangle legs. Let b represent the base of the triangle and l represent one of the triangle's legs. Then, the perimeter, P is given by
P = l + l + b
i.e P = 2l + b
From the question, P = 6y + 12 and b = 4y +2
∴ 6y + 12 = 2l + 4y + 2
6y - 4y + 12 - 2 = 2l
2y + 10 = 2l
∴ 2l = 2y + 10
Then,
l = (2y+10)/2
l = y + 5
Hence, the expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

Answer:
20.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of the pieces of mail handled by the U.S postal service decreased from 212,000,000,000 to 168,000,000
Therefore the percentage decrease can be calculated as follows
= 212,000,000,000-168,000,000,000
= 44,000,000,000/212,000,000,000 × 100
= 0.2075 × 100
= 20.8 %
Hence the percentage decrease is 20.8%
