Answer: Sally will catch up with Jane after 50 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of Jane of biking = 12 mph

After 10 minutes,

Speed of Sally of biking = 15 mph

Let the distance be 'x'.

According to question, our required equation becomes,

\dfrac{x}{12}-\dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{10}{60}\\\\\dfrac{5x-4x}{60}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\dfrac{1x}{60}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\x=10\ miles

Thus, total distance would be 10 miles.

So, the time taken by Sally to catch up with Jane is given by

\dfrac{10}{12}=\dfrac{5}{6}\times 60=50\ minutes

Hence, Sally will catch up with Jane after 50 minutes.

Answer:

10/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

12x=15x-10

12x-15x=15x-10-15x

-3x=-10

-3x/-3=-10/-3

x=10/3

Which set of numbers could be the length of the sides
Svetllana [295]

Answer: Choice C)  {6, 9, 12}

=======================================================

Explanation:

Something like choice A can't form a triangle because the first two sides add to 6+9 = 15, which is <u>not</u> longer than the third side 15. We need to have x+y > z to be true. The same goes for choice B as well because 3+3 = 6 is too small compared to the third side 7. Choice D is similar to choice A.

In short, we can rule out choices A, B, and D.

The only thing left is choice C. Picking any two sides leads to having that sum be larger than the third side

  • 6+9 = 15 which is larger than 12
  • 9+15 = 24 which is larger than 6
  • 6+15 = 21 which is larger than 9

So the conditions of the triangle inequality theorem work out here, and we have a triangle.

Can someone please help me find the measure of the exterior angle.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

k = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of any triangle = 180°.

64° + 76° + x = 180°

x = 40°

40° + k = 180°  because they are supplementary angles

k = 140°
