Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip. The first car can travel
75 miles on 5 gallons of gas.
The second
car can travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of
gas. Each car costs the same to rent, and
Sam wants to rent the car with the better
gas mileage.
Sam estimates that he will
pay $49.42 for
every 14 gallons of gas
he
has to buy. Which car should Sam rent,
and how much money should Sam bring
for gas? Explain your reasoning.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

24/56=hx^7

step-by-step explanation:

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
