I asked this question three hours ago and nobody answered it A glider is towed to an altitude of 2,000 feet above the ground before being released by the tow plane. The glider loses 450 feet of altitude before finding an updraft that lifts it 1,750 feet. What is the glider's altitude now?

okay so first you have the original height (2,000 feet) than subtract by 450. add 1750 giving you 3300

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
