S_A_V [24]3 years ago
6 0
Given:
t A = 2.4 h
t B = 4 h
v A = 22 + v B

Solution:
Distance A and distance B is the same, distance could be defined using formula d = v × t
d A = d B
(v A × t A) = (v B × t B)

plug in the numbers
v A × 2.4 = v B × 4
(22 + vB) × 2.4 = 4 vB

remove the parenthesis using distributive property
(22 × 2.4) + (2.4 × vB) = 4vB
52.8 + 2.4vB = 4vB
add like terms
52.8 = 4vB - 2.4vB
52.8 = 1.6vB
52.8/1.6 = vB
vB = 33
the speed of car B is 33 mph

vA = 22 + vB
vA = 22 + 33
vA = 55
the speed of car A is 55 mph

Work out the unknown angles. Give reasons for each answer.
zalisa [80]
A)

Because the sum of angles in a triangle must equal 180° we can say:

62+α+90=180

α+152=180

α=28°

b)

Since all sides have equal length, all angles must have equal measure.  (This is an equilateral triangle).  And again, because the sum of the angle must be 180° we can say:

b+b+b=180

3b=180

b=60°
