Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.
If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:
(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph
However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:
(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)
Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.
Answer:
X= 18; Y=15
Step-by-step explanation:
As a student myself working this out I cannot explain how I got the answer but I know it is correct.
A. The figure is a triangular pyramid. You can findits surface area by adding up the area of the three faces of the triangle and the area of the base. A derived formula also is used where the SA is equal to 12 times the perimeter of base times the slant height, added to that is the area of the base. The area of the square base is s^2. Its perimeter is 4s.
SA of Pyramid = 12*P*l + s^2
SA of Pyramid = 12*4s*l + 16^2
SA of Pyramid = 12*4(16)*(17) + (16)^2
SA of Pyramid = 11,008 square inches
b.) The formula for the SA of a cone is:
SA of cone = πr[r+√(h^2+r^2)]
SA of cone = π(3)[(3+√(8^2+3^2)]
SA of cone = 108.8 square inches
