Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints

The formula, n P = 140, gives an approximate relationship between n and P where,

  • n = number of steps per minute
  • P = pace length in meters
  • Bernard knows his pace length is 0.80 meters
  • The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

We need to calculate Bernard’s walking speed in meters per minute and in kilometers per hour

∵ n = number of steps per minute

∴ n unit is number / minute

∵ P = pace length in meters

∴ P unit is meter

- That means n P unit is meters/minute

∴ n P represents the speed in meters per second

∵ The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

∵ His pace length is 0.80 meters

∵ n P = 140

∴ n(0.8) = 140

- Divide both sides by 0.8

∴ n = 175

- That means he moves 175 steps per minute

∵ The distance he walks in minute = 175 × 0.8 = 140 meters/minute

∴ His speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

∵ 1 km = 1000 m

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

- Divide the meters by 1000 and the minute by 60 to change

   from meters per minute to kilometers per hour

∴ His walking speed = \frac{140}{1000} ÷ \frac{1}{60}

- Change ÷ to × and reciprocal the fraction after the division sign

∴ His walking speed =  \frac{140}{1000} × \frac{60}{1} = 8.4 km/h

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

Which equation represents the function graphed on the coordinate plane? g(x) = |x + 4| – 2 g(x) = |x – 4| – 2 g(x) = |x – 2| – 4
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

g(x)=|x+4|-2

Step-by-step explanation:

All the absolute value functions given in the option are of the form:

g(x)=|x-h|+k, where (h,k) is the vertex

From your description the absolute value graph has vertex at (-4,-2)

Hence h=-4 and k=-2.

We substitute to get:

g(x)=|x--4|+-2

We simplify to get:

g(x)=|x+4|-2

Which similarity statements are true? Check all that apply. △JKL ~ △KML △JKM ~ △JKL △JKM ~ △KML △JMK ~ △JKL △JMK ~ △KML
Aliun [14]
The answer:

according to the image, the main theorem concerning right triangle similarity is as follow:
the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and each other, 

in our case, KL is the altitude, and by applying theorem, we get three triangles that are similar:
therefore:
<span>△JKL ~ △JKM
</span><span>△JKM ~ △JKM
</span><span>△JMK ~ △KML</span>
