The average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

We need to know about the speed to solve this problem. Speed can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is speed, s is distance and t is time.

From the question above, we know that:

t sarah = 3 hours

t martha = 5 hours

v sarah = 40 km/h

By using the speed equation, we get the distance

vsarah = s / tsarah

40 = s/3

s = 120 km

Find Martha's speed

vmartha = s / tmartha

vmartha = 120 / 5

vmartha = 24 km/h

Find average speed

v = (vsarah + vmartha)/2

v = (40 + 24) / 2

v = 32 km/h

Hence, the average speed of Martha and Sarah is 32 km/h.

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (8,6) and (10,12).
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question on the gradient between points

(8,6) and (10,12)

Is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

For the points (8,6) and (10,12).

X1= 8

Y1=6

X2=10

Y2=12

We know that the gradient between two points is expressed as

M= ΔY/ΔX

M= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

M= (12-6)/(10-8)

M= 6/2

M= 3

Only three regular polygons can tessellate in a plane.
o-na [289]
Repeaterd use of figures of one kind or more to cover a plane without gaps and without overlaps is called tessellation.
only equilateral triangles squares and regular hexagons can form tessellation.
it is because each of their interior angles should be a factor of 360°. only these 3 kinds satisfy this.
