A boat was sailing for 4 hours and covered 224 miles. A jet is ten times as fast as the boat. Find the jet’s speed.

First, you would need to find out how many miles the boat can sail in 1 hour. To do this, you would divide the total number of miles traveled by the time it took to travel it.
224 ÷ 4 = 56
56 mi/1 h

Next, you would multiply the number of miles the boat traveled, 56, by 10.

56 x 10 = 560

The jet flew 560 mi/per hour

I hope this helps!

224/4 = 56 miles per hour
56 x 10 = 560 miles per hour

triangle ABC is isosceles, angle B is vertex angle , AB = 20x -2, AC =25x, and BC =12 x +20. Find x and the length of each side

lisov135 [29]

Length of AB = 18. 92

Length of AC = 26. 15

Length of BC = 32. 552

<h3>How to determine the sides of the triangle</h3>

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have that

$(20 x-2)^2 = (12x + 20)^2 + (25x)^2$

Expand the bracket

$400x^2- 4 = 144x^2 + 400 + 625x^2$

Collect like terms

$400x^2 - 144x^2 - 625x^2 = 400 + 4$

$-369x^2 = 404$

Make x^2 subject

$x^2 = \frac{404}{369}$

$x = \sqrt{1.0948}$

$x = 1. 046$

Thus,

Length of AB = 20x -2 = 20(1. 046) - 2 = 18. 92

Length of AC = 25x = 25* 1.046 = 26. 15

Length of BC = 12x + 20 = 12(1. 046) + 20 = 32. 552
