Read the following excerpt from a personal narrative essay. Based on the excerpt, what did the writer learn from her personal experience?

Have you ever been canoeing? I went on a canoeing trip with my mom, dad, and two brothers when I turned 13. It was one of the best days of my life. It was exciting, scary, and challenging all at once. At first I couldn’t believe those long, narrow pieces of wood could hold all five of us. But our instructor told us that canoes have been around for many years. He also told us some interesting facts about the history of canoe, like how American Indians used canoes as a way to travel quickly.

He patted the wood of the canoe we would be using. “It’s made of an old tree trunk,” he said.

I asked the question that had been bothering me ever since I saw our canoe. “Can it really hold all of us?” I pointed to my brothers and me. “It looks like the bottom could fall right off.”

The instructor laughed. “Oh, you’ll be surprised how strong this wood is. If our customers were always drowning, we’d have a 'sinking' business on our hands.”

He laughed some more at his own joke. Then he became serious and showed us how to keep our balance while getting into and out of the boat. He also showed me how to grip the paddle so that my left hand would guide the boat and my right hand would give the paddle power.

A.
Canoeing is dangerous, and only people who are experts can do it.
B.
Even events that seem a little scary can turn out to be great.
C.
The best age to go on a canoeing trip is 13.
D.
Canoeing can cause injury if you’re new to the sport.

Answer:

160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle be x

Let second angle be 8x

Sum of supplementary angles = 180°

x+ 8x = 180°

9x = 180

x = 180/9 = 20

First angle= x= 20°

Second angle = 8x = 8*20 = 160°

Its area includes all Sahara's locations in North Africa, South Arabia, Iran's and Iraq's larger parts, North-Western India, California throughout the United States, South Africa but most of Australia.

Half-arid temperatures include places like the Utah, Montana, and Gulf Coastal regions of sagebrush. Also, it comprises regions in Iceland, Russia, Scandinavia, Greenland, and Northeast India. Semi-arid thankless than tube called per year of rain and up to 20 inches per year at much more than arid deserts.

Regions from of the latitude of 25° to 35° usually develop desert, because air sinks and is heated under pressures in this area. The world's dry and semi-arid desert regions are between 20°C and 35°C north latitude and between 20°C and 35°C South latitude.

Answer:

1/ x = 22.5°

2/ x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

1/ We have: 3x + 2x + 3x = 180°

=> 8x = 180° => x = 22.5°

2/ We have: x + x + x = 3x = 180°

=> x = 60°

Answer:

1) x = 22.5

2) x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Add the angles together

1) 3x + 2x + 3x = 8x

2) x + x + x = 3x

→ Make it equal to 180

1) 8x = 180

2) 3x = 180

→ Divide both sides by 8 and 3

1) x = 22.5

2) x = 60

Answer: The question is not complete. the figure is attached below.

The polygon is a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line 1 goes through (-2, 3)

hence the slope of line 1 = -3/2

Line 2 goes through (0, 3) (2, 0)

hence the slope of line 2 = -3/2

Line 3 goes through (0, 1) (-3, 1)

hence the slope of line 3 = 2/3

Line 4 goes through (3, 0) (0, -2)

Hence the slope of line 4 = 2/3

therefore -3/2 * 2/3 = -1

Line1 + Line3      Line1 + Line4       Line2 + Line3        Line2+Line4

because, the distance between Line1 and Line2 is not equal to that Line3 and Line4.

The polygon is a rectangle polygon.

Answer:

6, -5 and 6. Assume the leading coefficient of f(x) is 1. Write the equation of the cubic polynomial in standard form.

=================================================

Explanation:

Consider something like 2b+6 factoring to 2(b+3). When we distribute that outer 2 back inside the parenthesis, we're multiplying that 2 by everything inside. Factoring goes in reverse of this and we divide each term of 2b+6 by the GCF 2.

The same thing applies to this current problem as well.

Divide each term by the -1.8 we want to factor out.

The results -2b and 5 will go inside the parenthesis. That's how we end up with -1.8(-2b+5)

You can use distribution to verify this

-1.8(-2b+5)

-1.8*(-2b) - 1.8*(5)

3.6b - 9

Hello!

7(x + 8) = 84 <=>

<=> 7x + 56 = 84 <=>

<=> 7x = 84 - 56 <=>

<=> 7x = 28 <=>

<=> x = 28 : 7 <=>

<=> x = 4

Good luck! :)

Answer:

For this exercise we need to solve the next equation:

3 +6x = 2x + 27

We can start substracting 3 at both sides:

3 + 6x - 2 = 2x + 27 - 3

6x = 2x + 25

And then, we can substract 2x::

6x - 2x = 2x + 24 - 2x

4x = 25

Then, we divide by 4:

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 24/4 = 6

Now, we can see if we have done it correctly:

3 + 6*6 = 39

2 * 6 + 27 = 39

And we have seen our result is correct

Answer:

During that time, math symbols (like the division and multiplication sign) and numbers weren't invented yet, so they used words because that was the only choice either than verbally speaking.

Answer:

1 / sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(o) = sin(o) / cos(o)

sin(o) is the vertical distance from the x-axis. and that is in this basic circle the y-coordinate of the point.

cos(o) is the horizontal distance from the y-axis. that is the x-coordinate of the point.

so,

tan(o) = (1/2) / (sqrt(3)/2) = (2×1) / (2×sqrt(3)) = 1/sqrt(3)

Answer:

-4°C

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the chemistry experiment the temperature of the liquid was -5°C and it dropped 9°C so you do:

-5°C - 9°C = -14°C

The answer is -14°C for the first part of the question because when you are subtracting a positive number from a negative number you have to add the two numbers together but your answer will always be a negative number.

Then you add 25°C to -14°C:

-14°C + 25°C = 11

Because when adding a negative number to a positive number that is bigger than the negative number you have to subtract but your answer will always be a positive number, however if the positive number is smaller than the negative number your answer will be a negative number.

Then you subtract 11°C from 15°C:

11°C - 15°C = -4°C

Because when you subtract a number that is bigger than the first number you get a negative number.

profit from selling 5 oranges is 20%

Profit percentage of  selling 5 oranges, a shopkeeper gains the selling price of 1 orange is equals to 25%.

" Profit is defined as difference of cost price from selling price when the selling price of a product is greater than its cost price."

Formula used

Profit percentage = [tex]\frac{Selling price - cost price}{cost price} (100)[/tex]

According to the question,

We know that,

Selling price = cost price + profit

Substitute the given condition in the selling price formula we get,

Selling price of 5 oranges

= Cost price of 5 oranges + Selling price of 1 oranges

⇒(S.P of 5 oranges) - (S.P of 1 oranges) = C.P. of 5 oranges

⇒S.P of 4 oranges = C.P of 5 oranges

⇒[tex]\frac{S.P}{C.P}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Substitute the value in the formula to get profit percentage,

Profit percentage = [tex]\frac{5-4}{4}(100)[/tex]

                              = 25%

Hence, profit percentage of  selling 5 oranges, a shopkeeper gains the selling price of 1 orange is equals to 25%.
