----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am 
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km

The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours

17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km

The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km

The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km

The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite 7 as 3+4 then instead of 3*7 we have 3*(3+4).

Then distribute the 3 in the parenthesis 3*(3+4) = (3*3) + (3*4)

Which of the following is the graph of (x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 9? (Brainly doesn't seem to want to let me put up pictures. Sorry guy
forsale [732]
If you want to cheat, paste the formula in Wolfram Alpha. However, this one is not that difficult. From the fact that x and y are squared you can infer that this is a circle. The 9 reveals that the radius r^2 is 9, so radius is 3.

The (x-2) tells us that the circle is shifted to the right by 2. Likewise, y+1 shifts it down by one. So the center is at (2,-1). If the equation would be x^2 + y^2 = 9, you'd have a circle exactly on the origin.

Hopefully this helps you break down the equation and pick the right picture!

The coordinates of the vertices of ANGLE RST are R(-3,5), and S(4,5), and T(4,-2). Find the side lengths to the nearest hundredt
e-lub [12.9K]


Side lengths: RS=7 and ST=7, and angle=90 degrees

Why?

Since second coordinates of R and S are the same so we can just count the length by adding first coordinate of R and first coordinate of S= |-3|+4=7

Since first coordinates of R is the same as first coordinate of T so we can just count  the length  by adding second coordinates of S and T=5+|-2|=7

Angle: RST is =90 degrees because triangle RST is right angled  triangle. Why? Because RS is parallel to X axis(the same second coordinates of R and S) and ST is parallel to Y axis(the same coordinates of S and T) .
