A 270-mile highway has a toll booth at the beginning, a toll booth every 45 miles, and then a final toll booth at the end. A
passenger vehicle must pay a $2.75 toll each time that it passes by a toll booth. There are no additional tolls when exiting
the highway.
Josh entered the turnpike at its beginning and exited after driving 120 miles. How much in toll fees did Josh have to pay?

$8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

270 sectioned out by 45s is 7 toll booths on the highway. That means theres a toll booth at 0 mi, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225 and 270 mi. If Josh exits after 120 mi, he only hits the booth at the beginning and then the last one at 90 mi because he doesn't reach the next one at 135 mi. $2.75 per toll booth and if he passed 3, then 2.75 x 3 = $8.25.

This should be correct, hope it helps. :)

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
