Answer:

1.0014 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The light travels at 186,291 miles per second (~300,000 km/s), and speed of sound in dry air is equal to 0.21 - 0.22 miles per second (0.33-0.35 km/s), as it varies with the temperature. We can notice the lightning almost immediately even though the storm is far from us, but the thunder needs around 5 seconds to travel one mile and approximately 3 seconds to travel one kilometer. Thanks to this seven orders of magnitude difference in sound and light propagation, we can easily estimate the storm distance

∆ABC and ∆FDE are congruent by the criterion. (Use the three-letter abbreviation without spaces.)
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

x = 11, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC and ΔFDE are congruent by the postulate SSS

Equate the congruent sides in the 2 triangles

BC = ED, that is

x + 3 = 14 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = 11

-------------------------------------

DF = AB, that is

x - y = 3 ← substitute x = 11

11 - y = 3 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- y = 3 - 11 = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 8
