15. a mountain is 29,135 feet tall. from base camp at
17,600 feet, a climber hiked 2,300 feet. how much
farther does the climber have before reaching the top
of the mountain?
16. john adams was born in 1732 and became president
in 1797. harry s. truman was born in 1884 and
became president in 1945. who was older when he
became president?

15. 9235

16. John Adams

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 15

1) Find the height the climber reached after going 2,300 feet:

17600+2300=19900

2) Find the distance between the climber's position and the top of the mountain:

29135-19900=9235

Question 16

Subtract the year each person became president from the year they were born:

1797-1732=65 <-- John Adams

1945-1884=61 <-- Harry S. Truman

a. 9,235 feet

b. John Adam was older when he became president.

Step-by-step explanation:

(15). Height of the mountain = 29,135 feet

A climber hiked from base camp at 17,600 feet and then 2,300 feet.

He hiked total = 17,600 + 2,300 = 19,900 feet

Now the distance is left to reach the top = 29,135 - 19,900

                                                                    = 9,235 feet

The climber is 9,145 feet farther to reach the top of the mountain.

(16). John Adams was born in 1732 and became president in 1797.

At that time his age was = 1797 - 1732 = 65 years

Harry S. Truman was born in 1884 and became president in 1945.

At that time his age was = 1945 - 1884 = 61 years

John Adams was older when he became president.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.

can i see the following ?
