Write an absolute value inequality to represent each situation. Two friends are hiking in Death Valley National Park. Their elevation ranges

from 228 ft below sea level at Badwater to 690 ft above sea level at Zabriskie

Point. Let x represent their elevation in feet.

║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 228 ft below sea level, this is x' = -228 ft. Also,  we have 690 ft above sea level, this is x" = 690 ft.

Since x is our elevation in feet, x ranges from -228 ≤ x ≤ 690.

To write an absolute value equation for x, we first take the average of the two values for the ranges to obtain the ideal value of x.

So, ideal value = [690 + (-228)]/2 = 462/2 = 231.

We also find the tolerance by taking the difference of both values and dividing by 2. So tolerance = [690 - (-228)]/2 =  [690 + 228)]/2 = 918/2 = 459.

Subtracting 231 from each value of the inequality we have

-228 - 231 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 690 - 231

-459 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 459

Since we have in magnitude the values on the left and right side of the inequality,

So ║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

the arc length is found by finding the circumference of the full circle (2xpixradius) and then dividing by 4 to find just one quarter of the circle (90 degrees).
