A road crew is widening a street that is 24 m wide. Their scale drawing says the new street has to be 125% of the width of the old street. How wide should the new street be?
A. 19.2 m
B. 28 m
C. 30 m
D. 300 m

If the street is already 24 m wide, and it is being expanded by 125%, then the correct answer is C. 30 m!

125% simply means 1 1/4.     1/4 of 24 is 6.    So, you have 24 + 6 = 30!

Step-by-step explanation:

The Answer would be C

Step-by-step explanation:

If the street is already 24 m wide, and it is being expanded by 125%

then the correct answer is C. 30 m!

To put it simply 125% means 1 1/4.  

1/4 of 24 is 6.  

So, you have 24 + 6 = 30

step-by-step explanation:

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
