Answer:

16.364 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Claire = 6 miles per hour

Speed of Megan= 5 miles per hour

Distance from camp site to out post = 18 miles

Time for Claire to travel=18/6= 3 hours

Time for Megan to travel = 18/5 = 3.6 hours

The time they meet will be equal

Claire distance= 18 + x

Megan distance = 18-x

Claire time =( 18+x)/6

Megan Tim =( 18-x)/5

(18+x)/6 =(18-x)/5

5(18+x)= 6(18-x)

90 +5x = 108-6x

11x=18

X=18/11

X=1.636 Miles

So the distance from the Outpost to where they meet = 18-1.636

= 16.364 miles

The isosceles trapezoid is part of an isosceles triangle with a 36° vertex angle. What is the measure of an acute base angle of
alexandr402 [8]
The answer is D) 72, 108

First you have to find out the measure of the two other angles in the triangle. Those two angles will be equivalent.

Because the sum of all three angles in a triangle is 180, you subtract 36 from it (180 - 36 = 144) then divide by 2 (144/2 = 72).

So, the two angles at the bottom of the triangle are each 72. Because those angles are supplementary to the angles at the top of the trapezoid, you subtract 72 from 180 (180 - 72 = 108).

108 + 108 = 216

The sum of all the angles in a trapezoid is 360, so subtract 216 from 360 (360 - 216 = 144) then divide by 2 (144/2 = 72)
