To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let us say that:

A = runner

B = cyclist

d = distance

v = velocity

time = t

 

The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:

dA = dB

 

We know that the formula for calculating distance is:

d = v t

therefore,

vA tA = vB tB

 

Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:

vA (tB + 2) = vB tB

4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB

4 tB + 8 = 14 tB

10 tB = 8

tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min

 

Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8 hours or 48 minutes.

Find x<br> 27 degrees and 32 degrees will give brainlist
telo118 [61]

Answer:

x = 121°

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add up all the angles of a triangle, you get 180°.

So you must add up all the angles.

27+32+x=180\\\\59+x=180

Next you subtract 59 on both sides.

x=121

x should be 121°.

If you would like to check your answer, you can add up 27, 32, and 121. If it all equals to 180, then your answer is correct.

One counting number is 4 times great as a counting number.The product of the two number is 36.What is the sum of the two number
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The sum of the two numbers is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the counting numbers be x and y.

Then we can write the following equations

x=4y.......1 (one is four times greater )

x(y)=36.....2 (the product of the two)

Putting equation 1 into equation 2, we get

4y(y)=36

{4y}^{2} = 36

Dividing through by 4,we get

{y}^{2} =  \frac{36}{4}

{y}^{2} = 9

Taking square root of both side, we obtain

y=3

Putting the value of y into equation , we get

x=4(3)=12

Hence the numbers are 3 and 12

Therefore the sum of the two numbers is 3+12=15

The polygons are similar. Find the missing side length. NO LINKS!!!!​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

CD = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sided are equal, that is

\frac{CD}{KD} = \frac{CB}{KL} , substitute values

\frac{CD}{9} = \frac{30}{10} = 3 ( multiply both sides by 9 )

CD = 27

Selected accounts with a credit amount omitted are as follows: Work in Process Apr. 1 Balance 7,000 Apr. 30 Goods finished X 30
lawyer [7]

Answer:

$29,900

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the  balance of Work in Process as of April 30 is shown below:

= Opening balance of work in process + direct material cost + direct labor cost + factory overhead cost - goods finished

= $7,000 + $78,400 + $195,000 + $136,500 - $387,000

= $29,900

The  direct material cost + direct labor cost + factory overhead cost is known as manufacturing cost
