Answer:

5 minutes to run 1 kilometer

Step-by-step explanation:

Alonzo takes 12 minutes to run 6 times around a 400-meter track.

6 times around a 400 m track

400 * 6 = 2400 meters

It take 12 minutes to run 2400 meters

2400 meters = 2400/1000 = 2.4km

distance = 2.4 km  and time = 12 minutes

Now we find our constant speed

Distance = speed * time

2.4 = speed * 12

divide by 12 on both sides

speed = 0.2

so speed is 0.2 km per minute

Now we find out time when distance = 1km

Distance = speed * time

1 = 0.2 * t

divide by 0.2 on both sides

5 = t

So it take 5 minutes to run 1 kilometer

Problem 1

Since point P is the tangent point, this means angle OPT is a right angle

angle OPT = 90 degrees

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side 'a'

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

a^2 + 49 = 144

a^2 = 144 - 49

a^2 = 95

a = sqrt(95)

a = 9.7467943

a = 9.7

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

Let's use the sine and arcsine rule to find angle y

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(y) = 7/12

y = arcsin( 7/12 )

y = 35.6853347

y = 35.7

The value of y is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Arcsine is the same as inverse sine or \sin^{-1}

====================================================

Problem 2

Focus on triangle OHP. This may or may not be a right triangle. The goal is to test if it is or not.

We use the converse of the Pythagorean theorem to check.

Recall that the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says: If a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation, then the triangle is a right triangle. The value of c is always the longest side. The order of a and b doesn't matter.

In this case we have

  • a = 7
  • b = 13
  • c = 16

Which leads to

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

7^2 + 13^2 = 16^2

49 + 169 = 256

218 = 256

We get a false equation at the end, since both sides aren't the same number, which means the original equation is false.

We don't get a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to be true, therefore this triangle is not a right triangle.

Consequently, this means angle OPH cannot possible be 90 degrees (if it was then we'd have a right triangle). Therefore, point P is not a tangent point.

You follow the same basic idea for triangle OQH and show that point Q is not a tangent point either. Or you could use a symmetry argument to note that triangle OPH is a mirror reflection of triangle OQH over the line segment OH. This implies that whatever properties triangle OPH has, then triangle OQH has them as well for the corresponding pieces.
