A giraffe can run 40 meters per second what is its speed in miles per hour

1 answer:

6 0

Bearing in mind that, there are

60 seconds in 1 minute,
60 minutes in 1 hr,
1000 meters in 1 km,
and 1.609 km in 1 mile

$\bf \cfrac{40\underline{m}}{\underline{s}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{s}}{\underline{min}}\cdot \cfrac{60\underline{min}}{hr}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{km}}{1000\underline{m}}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{1.609\underline{km}}\implies \cfrac{40\cdot 60\cdot 60\cdot mi}{hr\cdot 1000\cdot 1.609}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{144000mi}{1609hr}\approx 89.496581\frac{mi}{hr}$

In a right triangle ABC, CD is an altitude, such that AD=BC. Find AC, if AB=3 cm, and CD= root 2 cm.

Nata [24]

Given CD is an altitude such that AD=BC , AB=3 cm and CD= √2 cm.

Let AD=x, Since given AB=3

AD+DB=3

x+DB = 3

DB = 3-x

Since ΔBCD is rght angle triangle, let's apply Pythagoras theorem

$BC^{2} = DB^{2} +CD^{2}$

$BC^{2} = (3-x)^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$BC^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2$

Since given AD=BC,let us plugin BC=x in above step.

$x^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2$

$x^{2} =9-6x+x^{2} +2$

6x=11

x= $\frac{11}{6}$

Now we know AD=x= $\frac{11}{6}$ and given CD=√2.

Let us apply Pythagoras theorem for ΔACD

$AC^{2} =AD^{2} +DC^{2}$

$AC^{2} = (\frac{11}{6} )^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$AC^{2} =\frac{193}{36}$

$AC=\sqrt{\frac{193}{36} }$ = 2.315cm

What is the least common denominator for 5,6,and7?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

210

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is a prime number, 6 = 2·3 and 7 is a prime number. Since those number do not have common factors, the least common multiple will be their product:5·6·7 = 210 . Given fractions are already in order from least to greatest.
