1 mile = 5,280 feet.

Convert the 0.25 mile to feet:

0.25 miles = 0.25 x 5,280 = 1,320 feet.

Add the soda shop distance to this:

1,320 + 900 = 2,220 feet.

Total distance is 3 miles and 2,220 feet

The diameter of fishing line varies. Fishing lines can have a diameter as small as 2 x 102 inch and as large as 6 x 10-2 inch. H

Reil [10]

Answer:
3 times

Explanation:
We know that:
small diameter = 2 * 10^-2 in
large diameter = 6 * 10^-2 in

We want to know how many times larger is the thin diameter compared to the large one.
We will do this as follows:
large diameter = k * small diameter
where k is the number of times that we want to find
6 * 10^-2 = k * 2 * 10^-2
k = (6 * 10^-2) / (2 * 10^-2)
k = 3

This means that the large diameter is 3 times the small one.

Hope this helps :)

How to solve this question? Please help me

Answer:

≈ 82 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to calculate distance (d)

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

Here the hypotenuse is the distance (d) between the 2 poles, hence

d² = 80² + 45² = 6400 + 2025 = 8425 ( take the square root of both sides )

d = $\sqrt{8425}$ ≈ 82 feet ( to the nearest foot )
