Step-by-step explanation:

we have a rectangle, that is then cut in half diagonally into 2 right-angled triangles.

in our problem it does not matter which side is the larger and which is the shorter one, because the distance calculation for both cases involve one short and one long side. the sequence does not matter.

Mary walks one short and one large side to get to the opposite corner (from D to F) :

264 + 900 = 1,164 ft

Kate walks diagonally. and that diagonal is the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle with a short and a long side of the rectangle.

so, Pythagoras applies :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), and a and b are the legs.

in our case that means

diagonal² = 264² + 900² = 69,696 + 810,000 =

= 879,696

diagonal = sqrt(879,696) = 937.9211054... ft ≈ 938 ft

so, Kate walked

1,164 - 938 = 226 ft

less than Mary.

two bike riders ride around in a circular path. The first rider completes one round in 15 minutes and the second rider completes
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Rider 1 does one round in 15 min, and will complete another in each consecutive multiple of 15 min

Rider 2 does one round in 18 min, and will complete another in each consecutive multiple of 18 min

Assuming that they start together, they will complete another round together in a time that is both multiples of 15min and 18 min.

Then we need to find the smallest common multiple between 15 and 18.

To smallest common multiple between two numbers, a and b, is equal to:

a*b/(greatest common factor between a and b).

Now, the greatest common factor between 15 and 18 can be found if we write those numbers as a product of prime numbers, such as:

15 = 3*5

18 = 2*3*3

The greatest common factor is 3.

Then the smallest common multiple will be:

(15*18)/3 = 90

This means that after 90 mins, they will meet again at the starting place.
