Hi!
y = 16
x = 32

In 30-60-90 triangles, the hypotenuse is double the length of the shortest leg, and the longer leg is
times the shorter leg.</h3>
We are given the longest leg. To find the shortest leg, we must divide the longest leg value by 

The radicals cancel out and we are left with 16.
The length of y (the shortest leg) is 16.
Now, we also know that the hypotenuse is double the shortest leg. The shortest leg is 16, so if we double that, it's 32.
Let x = amount of time the Arlen family must catch up to
overtake the Harris family
In principle, the Harris and the Arlen family should cover
the same distance. Since distance is speed x time,
45 (6+y) = 58y
270 + 45y = 58y
58y - 45y = 270
y = 270 ÷ 13
y= 20.77min
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the rate of those two statements:
28 ÷ 16 = 1.75
1.75 ft per seconds
7 ÷ 4 = 1.75
1.75 ft per seconds
Two statements have the same rate, therefore 28 feet every 16 seconds and 7 feet every 4 seconds are equivalent
