Answer:
Two trains leave a town at the same time heading in opposite directions. One train is traveling 12 mph faster than the other. After two hours, they are 232 miles apart. What is the average speed of each train?
52 mph; 64 mph
55 mph; 70 mph
92 mph; 104 mph
98 mph; 110 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
A, dilation because the shape got larger. The other three options just move it around
Vocab:
Parallel = same slope
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
-5/2 opposite and reciprocal = 2/5
Solution: they are perpendicular
They are all prime numbers
Since they are right triangles use Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.
a. 12^2 + b^2 = 13^2
144 + b^2 = 169
subtract 144 from both sides
b^2 = 25
take the square root of both sides
t = 5 This is also know as a Pythagorean Triple 5-12-13
b. a^2 + 9^2 = 12^2
a^2 + 81 = 144
subtract 81 from both sides
a^2 = 63
take the square root of both sides
a = √63
a = √(9 * 7)
a = 3√7
c. 6^2 + 9^2 = c^2
36 + 81 = c^2
117 = c^2
take the square root of each side
c = √117
c = √(9*13)
x = 3√13
