Answer:
63 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for the area of a triangle is
a = 1/2 bh
plug in the numbers
a = 1/2(9)(14)
9 times 14 is 126
a = 1/2(126)
half of 126 (or 126 divided by 2)
area = 63 inches
Let n = minutes since 12:00 pm when Malory catches up to Dori.
Dori travels
(50 steps/min)*(n minutes) = 50n steps
Malory begins walking at 12:20 pm, so she walks for (n - 20) minutes. She travels
(90 steps/min)*(n - 20 min) = 90n - 1800 steps
Equate the steps traveled by Dori and Malory.
90n - 1800 = 50n
40n = 1800
n = 45 min
The time corresponding to n = 45 min is 12:45 pm
Answer: 12:45 pm
