The time it takes you to go a certain distance varies inversely with the speed of travel. Suppose it takes you 4 hours to get to

a sports event driving at a rate of 50 miles per hour.
a) Find the constant of variation. Write the particular equation expressing time in terms of speed.




b) How long will it take you to get to the event if you drive at 40 mph?

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}
\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad  variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \textit{time it takes varies inversely with the speed rate}\qquad \stackrel{time}{t}=\cfrac{k}{\stackrel{rate}{r}}
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
t=\stackrel{hrs}{4}\\
r=\stackrel{mph}{50}
\end{cases}\implies 4=\cfrac{k}{50}\implies 200=k
\\\\\\
\boxed{t=\cfrac{200}{r}}
\\\\\\
\textit{if your rate r = 40, what is your distance \underline{t}?}\qquad t=\cfrac{200}{40}

Pls show work?!!!!!!!
Paraphin [41]

Answer: 55.5 (A.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angle A = 29 and angle B = 41, angle C must be equal to 110

180 = m<A + m<B + m<C

180 = 29 +41 + m<C

180 = 70 + m<C

110 = m<C

Therefore, side c must be the longest, side b must be the second longest, and side a must be the shortest.

Since side length a, angle A, and angle B are known, one can use the law of sines to solve for side b.

Law of Sines: sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c

sinA/a = sinB/b

sin29/41 = sin41/b

b(sin29/41) = sin41

b = 41(sin41)/(sin29)

b = 55.48

b = 55.5
