I believe the answer is 5 because if however many times you can multiply 2.5 into 12.5, you get the answer of 5.

<u>Answer</u>:

The average speed of the runner is 12 miles per hour.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

A cross country runner Covers =2.5 miles

Time Taken = 12.5 minutes  

To Find:

The runners average speed in miles per hour=?

Solution:

Now, we know that,

Distance = speed x time

Then, 2.5 miles = average speed x 12.5 minutes  

=>\frac{5}{2} miles = \text{{average speed}} \times  \frac{25}{2} minutes

=>\frac{5}{2} miles = \text{{average speed}}\times\frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{60} hours

=>\frac{5}{2} = \text{{average speed}}\times \frac{ 5}{2} }\times \frac{1}{12} hours

=>1 = \text{{average speed}} \times\frac{1}{12}

=>average speed = 12  

Hence, the average speed of the runner is 12 miles per hour.

What are the values of sin α and tan α, if:<br> cosα=0.6
olganol [36]

Positive cosine is first or fourth quadrant.  So we don't know the sign of the sine or the tangent.

Everybody's favorite right triangle is 3/4/5 and here we have

\left(\dfrac 3 5 \right)^2 + \left(\dfrac 4 5 \right)^2 = 1

So if

\cos \alpha = 0.6 = \dfrac 3 5

then

\sin \alpha = \pm \dfrac{4}{5} = \pm 0.8

and

\tan \alpha = \dfrac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} = \dfrac{\pm 0.8}{0.6}=\pm \dfrac 4 3

A. x = 2, y =6<br> B. x = 2, y =3<br> C. x =-2, y =3<br> D. x = -3, y =2
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is A) x = 2 and y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, we need to set the hypotenuses equal to each other. Then we can solve for y to get the equation.

y - 1 = x + 3

y = x + 4

Now we can do the same with the leg lengths.

y - 3 = 2x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Now that we have two equations, we can set them equal to each other to get the x value.

x + 4 = 2x + 2

4 = x + 2

2 = x

Now that we have x, we can plug it into any equation to get the y value.

y = x + 4

y = 2 + 4

y = 6
