Answer:

The answer is a. 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by using Pythagoras theorem to relate the sides of a right angled triangle.

Here,

Hypotenuse of the given triangle(c)=75

Two sides of right angled triangle are:

a=72

b=?

Then,

for a given right angled triangle abc,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Squaring on both sides,

c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}

or,75^{2}=72^{2}+b^{2}

or, b^{2}=75^{2}-72^{2}

or,b^{2}=5625- 5184

or,b^{2} =441

∴b=21

So, the value of b is obtained to 21 by the use of Pythagoras theorem.

postnew [5]

Answer:

258

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the two equations needed (x is the adult tickets and y is the student tickets)

x+y=372

6x+2y=1776

Solve by elimination

-2(x+y=372)

=-2x-2y=-744

Cancel like figures:

-2x-2y=-744

6x+2y=1776

= 4x=1032

x=258

In t hours the train has traveled s miles. Find the formula for v, the speed of the train (in mph) in terms of t and s. Find the
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Part 1 .

As per the given statement: In t hours the train has traveled s miles.

Distance of the train = s mile

Time = t hours

Formula for :

Speed of the train(v) = \frac{\text{Distance of the train}}{\text{Time}}

or

v = \frac{s}{t} mph           .....[1]

Substitute the value of t = 3 hours and s = 180 miles in [1], to solve for v;

v = \frac{180}{3} = 60 mph

Therefore, the speed of the train(v) is, 60 mph

Part 2.

Similarly,

The formula for speed of the train (v) is given by;

v =\frac{s}{t}

Substitute the value of t = 2.5 hours and s = 225 miles to solve for v;

v = \frac{225}{2.5} = 90 mph

Therefore, the speed of the train(v) is, 90 mph
