The taxi ride is an illustration of a linear proportional equation

The taxi ride was 13.25 miles

<h3>How to determine the number of miles</h3>

From the question, we have:

Total cost = $39.75
Cost per mile = $3.00

The number of miles (n) is the quotient of the total cost of the ride, and the cost per mile.

So, we have:

n = 39.75/3.00

Evaluate the quotient

n = 13.25

Hence, the ride was 13.25 miles

Michele wanted to measure the height of her school’s flagpole. She placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole, then

zepelin [54]

Refer to the diagram below for the sketch of the position of the mirror, Michelle, and the flagpole.

Using similar triangle concept, to find the height of the flagpole, we first need to find out the scale factor of the horizontal distance.
We write this as ratio
Mirror to Michelle : Mirror to Flagpole
12ft : 48ft
1 : 4

So the ratio of the height is
Michelle : Flagpole
1 : 4
5ft : 20ft

Ill give 10 points if you answer

Hi there!

The answer is x = 6. All you have to do is subtract 83 from 127 because 127 is the total of the two parts of the equation. Now using the expression they give you - since you already know what the missing angle degree is for JKM- you just plug it in. 9x-10=44.

Add 10 to both sides to cancel out the ten.

You then have 9x = 54.

Divide both sides by 9.

Leaving you with x = 6.

Hope this helps !

If a right triangle has a hypotenuse equal to 17 and a leg equal to 15, find the third side.

Yanka [14]

Use the pythagorean theorem a.k.a ${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$
c is the hypotenuse while a & b are the legs
${15}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {17}^{2}$
$225 + {b}^{2} = 289$
subtract 225 from 289
${b}^{2} = 64$
square root both b and 64
the other leg is equal to 8
