Problema Solution

Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.

How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?

Answer provided by our tutors

d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Answer:

Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS .....{S-S-S test for similarity}...Proof is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In Δ PQT

PQ = 30 ft

QT = 28 ft

TP = 20 ft

In Δ QRS

QR = 15 ft

RS = 14 ft

SQ = 10 ft

To Prove:

Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS

Proof:

First we consider the ratio of the sides

$\frac{PQ}{QR}=\frac{30}{15} = \frac{2}{1}$ ..............( 1 )

$\frac{QT}{RS}=\frac{28}{14} = \frac{2}{1}$ ..............( 2 )

$\frac{TP}{SQ}=\frac{20}{10} = \frac{2}{1}$ ..............( 3 )

So By equation ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) we get

$\frac{PQ}{QR}=\frac{QT}{RS} = \frac{TP}{SQ}$

Now in Δ PQT and Δ QRS we have

$\frac{PQ}{QR}=\frac{QT}{RS} = \frac{TP}{SQ}$

Which are corresponding sides of a similar triangle in proportion.

∴ Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS .....{S-S-S test for similarity}...Proved

Can somebody help me, please?

Answer:

a. $x=10 \textdegree$

b.

$m\angle L=39\textdegree\\\\m\angle M=51\textdegree\\\\m\angle K=90\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We know that angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

-The right angle triangle in the right triangle has a measure of 90°.

We can therefore equate our angles to 180° and solve for x;

$180=\perp\angle+(2x+19)+(3x+21)\\\\180=90+(2x+19)+(3x+21)\\\\90=5x+40\\\\5x=50\\\\x=10\textdegree$

Hence, the angle measure is x=10°

b. Having calculated the value of x from a above as x=10°, we can substitute to find the measures of the two acute angles:

$m\angle L=(2x+19)\textdegree\\\\=(2\times 10+19)\textdegree\\\\=39\textdegree\\\\m\angle M=(3x+21)\textdegree\\\\=(3\times 10+21)\textdegree\\\\=51\textdegree$

Since, the m∠K is a right angle, it measures 90°
