The speed limit is 25 miles per hour, but it seems that many of the cars are going faster. The city places 2 counter strips 360

feet apart in the lane closest to the school.A teacher times one car's front tires crossing the strips in the 7.0 sec. Is the car speeding? How do you solve this?

You figure out how long it would take a car traveling at 25 mph
to cover 360 ft.  Any driver who does it in less time is speeding.

           (25 mi/hr) · (5,280 ft/mile) · (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

       =    (25 · 5280 / 3600)  ft/sec  =  (36 and 2/3) feet per second.

To cover 360 ft at 25 mph, it would take

                360 ft / (36 and 2/3 ft/sec)  =   9.82 seconds .

Anybody who covers the 360 feet in less than 9.82 seconds
is moving faster than 25 mph.
_________________________________

If you're interested, here's how to do it in the other direction:

Let's say a car covers the 360 feet in ' S ' seconds.
What's the speed of the car ?

           (360 ft / S sec) · (1 mile / 5280 feet) · (3600 sec/hour)

       =    (360 · 3600) / (S · 5280)  mile/hour

       =        245.5 / S    miles per hour .

The teacher timed one car crossing both strips in 7.0 seconds.
How fast was that car traveling ?

                   245.5 / 7.0  =  35.1 miles per hour


Another teacher timed another car that took 9.82 seconds to cross
both strips.  How fast was this car traveling ?

                        245.5 / 9.82  =  25 miles per hour

Connor has a collection of dimes and quarters with a total value of $6.30. The number of dimes is 14 more than the number of qua
Anarel [89]

Connor has 14 quarters and 28 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Worth of coins = $6.30 = 6.30*100 = 630 cents

We know that,

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Let,

Quarter = x

Dime = y

According to given statement;

25x+10y=630    Eqn 1

The number of dimes is 14 more than the number of quarters

y = x+14    Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

25x+10(x+14)=630\\25x+10x+140=630\\35x=630-140\\35x=490

Dividing both sides by 35

\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{490}{35}\\x=14

Putting x=14 in Eqn 2

y=14+14\\y=28

Connor has 14 quarters and 28 dimes.

Question 2 help please
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In any triangle, the sum of the measures of its interior angle is 180°
  • In the isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal in measures

∵ In an isosceles triangle, the measure of the base angle = (2x + 5)

∵ The base angles of the isosceles triangles are equal in measures

∴ The measures of the base angles are (2x + 5), (2x + 5)

∵ The measure of the vertex angle = (5x - 1)

∵ The sum of the measure of the three angles = 180°

∴ (2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x - 1) = 180

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (2x + 2x + 5x) + (5 + 5 + -1) = 180

∴ 9x + 9 = 180

→ Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 9x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

∴ 9x = 171

→ Divide both sides by 9 to find x

∴ x = 19

→ Substitute the value of x in the measure of the vertex angle to find it

∵ The measure of the vertex angle = 5x - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 5(19) - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 95 - 1

∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 94°

∴ The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees
