Answer

a) Wilson Kipsang is 7.046 miles per hour faster than the average runner.

Solution is presented below under Explanation.

b) Wilson Kipsang is 2.24 times faster than the average runner.

c) When the average runner is at mile 6, Kipsang will be at mile 13.45.

d) Kipsang's record time = 2 hours, 3 minutes, 34.6 seconds

Explanation

To solve this, we will calculate the speed of the average runner and then the speed of Wilson Kipsang

Speed = (Distance/Time)

For the average runner

Distance = 26.2 miles

Time = 4 hours 37 mins = 4 hours + (37/60) = 4.617 hours

Speed = (Distance/Time)

Speed = (26.2/4.617)

Speed = 5.675 miles per hour

For Wilson Kipsang

Distance = 1 mile

Time = 4 minutes 43 seconds = (4/60) + (43/3600) = 0.0667 + 0.01194 = 0.0786 hour

Speed = (Distance/Time)

Speed = (1/0.0786) = 12.721 miles per hour

So, now, we are asked to find how much faster than the average runner is Wilson Kipsang

Wilson Kipsang's speed = 12.721 miles per hour

Average runner's speed = 5.675 miles per hour

Wilson Kipsang is faster than the average runner by

(12.721 - 5.676) = 7.046 miles per hour

b) We are asked to find how many times faster than the average runner Wilson Kipsang is.

Let the number of times he is faster than the average runner be x

Wilson Kipsang's speed = 12.721 miles per hour

Average runner's speed = 5.675 miles per hour

(5.675) (x) = (12.721)

Divide both sides by 5.675

x = (12.721/5.675)

x = 2.24 times

c) If the average runner is at mile 6, where would Kipsang be?

To do this, we will find the time it takes the average runner to be at mile 6, then use that time to find where Kipsang would be.

Speed = (Distance/Time)

By cross multiplying, we see that

Time = (Distance/Speed)

For the average runner

Distance = 6 miles

Speed = 5.675 miles per hour

Time = (Distance/Speed)

Time = (6/5.675) = 1.057 hours

For Wilson Kipsang,

Speed = (Distance/Time)

By cross multiplying

Distance = (Speed) (Time)

Speed = 12.721 miles per hour

Time = 1.057 hours

Distance = (Speed) (Time)

Distance = (12.721) (1.057)

Distance = 13.45 miles

d) We were told that for Kipsang

1 mile = 4 minutes 43 seconds

26.2 miles = 26.2 (4 minutes 43 seconds)

26.2 miles = 26.2 (283 seconds) = 7414.6 seconds

We can then convert this further

7414.6 seconds = 2 hours, 3 minutes, 34.6 seconds

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

<u>False </u>Any three points are always coplanar

<u>False </u>Two points are always collinear

<u>False </u>Two planes intersect at a point

Read explanations, as the answer to these questions, is subjective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of coplanar is; figures that exist on the same plane. Any three points might not always be colinear, as some points might exist on one plane, but other points could exist on other planes. To visualize this phenomenon, refer to the attached image. Two points could be on the red plane, but the third could be on the green. Therefore, while there are three points, not all of them exist on the same plane. However, another plane can be constructed to connect these points, bear in mind certain problems might specifically indicate that three points are not coplanar, therefore, the answer is false.

The definition of collinear is existing on the same line. This statement is a little subject, it can be both true and false depending on the way one looks at it. A line can be drawn to connect any two points, one only needs two points to determine a line. So technically two points are always collinear. However, it also depends on the circumstance. Certain geometry problems might specifically indicate that two points are not collinear. Thus, it really depends on the context. Therefore, the answer is technically false.

Two planes usually intersect on a line. To understand this, please refer to the image attached. Tehcnailly, if a corner of one plane intersects another, then one can state that the plane intersects on a point, but typically, planes intersect on lines. Therefore, technically the answer to this problem is false, as two planes usually intersect on a line.
