The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.

Find AT AND RC. 80 points
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

AT=6, RC=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular bisector intersect at T that is the circumcenter.

since RT is a bisector or AC and AR=5 then RC=5

Circumcenter is equidistant from the vercices of the triangle so

AT≅BT≅CT

but CT is given to be CT=6 so AT=6
