A drawbridge that is 106 ft. in length is raised at its midpoint so that the uppermost points are 16 ft. apart. How far has each of the midsections been raised? Write your answer as a radical reduced to simplest form and a whole number
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
