The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.

<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>

let

  • cost of redwood = x
  • cost of pine = y

50x + 70y = 280

100x + 60y = 440

Multiply (1) by 2

100x + 140y = 560

100x + 60y = 440

subtract to eliminate x

80y = 120

y = 120/80

y = $1.5

substitute y = 1.5 into (1)

50x + 70y = 280

50x + 70(1.5) = 280

50x + 105 = 280

50x = 280 - 105

50x = 175

x = 175 / 50

x = $3.5

6. c

7. c

Step-by-step explanation:

1. to check the congrency normally distance formula is used. if the distances/ length are equal we say that sides are congurent.

2. if the slope of two lines are equal then both the lines are parallel. if the product of the slopes of two lines equal to one then lines will be perpendicular.

3. diagonals bisect or not can be checked by using midpoint formula.

4. equilateral triangle if the distance of each side is equal so, distance formula can be used.

The fastest a human has ever run is 27 miles per hour. How many miles per minute did the human run
Kay [80]

(27 mi/hr) x (1 hr / 60 min)  =  (27/60) (mi/min)  =  0.45 mile/minute

Using the same kind of calculation, we can see
that the world record times for other distances
correspond to:

200 meters                  23.31 mph
400 meters                   20.72 mph
800 meters                   17.73 mph
1000 meters                 16.95 mph
1500 meters                 16.29 mph
1 mile (1,609 meters)    16.13 mph
2,000 meters                 15.71 mph
10,000 meters               14.18 mph
30,000 meters               12.89 mph
Marathon  (42,195 meters)    13.10 mph

Except for that one figure at the end, for the marathon,
which I can't explain yet and I'll need to investigate further,
it's pretty obvious that a human being, whether running for
his life or for a gold medal, can't keep up the pace indefinitely.
