It takes \frac{4}{5} hours or 48 minutes before they meet if their houses are 4 miles apart

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "t" be the number of hours it will take them to meet

Walking speed of Fred = 3 miles per hour

Walking speed of John = 2 miles per hour

Distance between their house = 4 miles

<em><u>Distance is given by formula:</u></em>

Distance = speed x time

Fred distance = walking speed of Fred x time taken

Fred distance = 3t

John distance = walking speed of John x time taken

John distance = 2t

Therefore,

3t + 2t = 4

5t = 4

t = \frac{4}{5} hours

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

\frac{4}{5} \text{ hours } = \frac{4}{5} \times 60 \text{ minutes } = 48 minutes

Thus it takes \frac{4}{5} hours or 48 minutes before they meet

Search cos jk and tan jk knowing that sin jk = 8/3
aleksley [76]

Answer:

cosjk = √55 i/3

tanjk = 8/√55 i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sin jk = 8/3

According to SOH CAH TOA

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse = 8/3

Opposite = 8

hypotenuse = 3

Get the adjacent using the pythagoras theorem

hyp² = opp²+adj²

adj² = hyp² - opp²

adj² = 3² - 8²

adj² = 9-64

adj² = -55

adj = √-55

adj = √55 i (i = √-1)

Get cosjk

cosjk = adj/hyp

cosjk = √55 i/3

Get tanjk

tanjk = opp/adj

tanjk = 8/√55 i
