Answer:

a=55

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for you to find the whole (a), given a part (11). This can be done through multiplication. 20% is 1/5 of 100%. This means to find the whole number, you should multiply the part by 5. 11*5=55. So, a must equal 55.

We can check this answer by working backward. Do this by finding 20% of 55, and checking to see if it is 11. To find a percentage of a number, multiply that number by the percent in decimal form. So, 20% of 55 is equal to 0.2*55, which is 11. Therefore, the answer is correct.

Answer: A=55

Step-by-step explanation: 20% of A is 11. 20% of 55 is 11. 55=a

All you do is divide 11 by .2 (11/.2)

After obtaining a warrant, the police attached GPS tracking device to the car of a murder suspect. Suppose the car was located a

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Part a) The coordinates of the suspect's car at its final destination are (4,4)

Part b) The distance traveled by the suspect was 10 miles

Part c) $d=5.66\ mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question in the attached figure

Part a) What are the coordinates of the suspect's car at its final destination?

we know that

The original position is the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system (0,0)

1) The suspect's car was tracked going 5 mi due east

That means----> 5 mi at right

the new coordinates are (5,0)

2) The suspect's car was tracked going 4 mi due north

That means----> 4 mi up

the new coordinates are (5,4)

3) The suspect's car was tracked going 1 mi due west

That means----> 1 mi at left

the new coordinates are (4,4)

therefore

The coordinates of the suspect's car at its final destination are (4,4)

Part b) What was the distance traveled by the suspect?

The distance traveled is

5 mi due east + 4 mi due north + 1 mi due west

$5+4+1=10\ mi$

therefore

The distance traveled by the suspect was 10 miles

Part c) What is the distance as the crow flies between the original position and the final position of the suspect's car?

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Remember that

The original position was (0,0) and the final position was (4,4)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-0)^{2}+(4-0)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{32}\ mi$

$d=5.66\ mi$
