Answer:
Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent distance between Mai's house and mountains and r represent Mai's rate while going to mountains.
We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip to mountains took 8 hours.
We are also told that when Mai drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 6 hours. Her average rate was 16 miles per hour faster on the trip home.
Upon equating equation (1) and equation (2), we will get:
Upon substituting in equation (1), we will get:
Therefore, Mai lives 384 miles away from the mountains.
To solve for the area of a triangle, we multiply the length and height, then divide that by two. L = 10. H = 7.
To solve for the perimeter, or edges, of the triangle, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² to solve for the third side. We already know two measures: 10 and 7. Now we need to square them, add them together to get c², then take the root of that number.
We cannot simplify √149, so we either leave it, or round it.
This is rounded to the nearest 10,000.
Now that we have the measure of the longest side, we can add all three sides together to get the perimeter of the triangle.
