Answer:
Average speed v = 83.8 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Distance travelled = 95 km
Time taken t = 12.23 - 11.15 = 1 hour 8 minutes
t = 1 + 8/60 hours = 1.133 hours.
Average speed v = distance travelled/time taken
substituting the values;
v = 95 km ÷ 1.133 hours
Average speed v = 83.8 km/h
To solve this you would use the pythagorean theorem since the brace is making the frame look like two right triangles. The theorem states that for a triangle with a right angle, A^2+B^2=C^2. A and B are the sides of the frame and C is the brace which is like the hypotenuse of the triangle. It doesn't matter which side is A or B so you can put 6 or 8 in place of either in the equation. 6^2+8^2=C^2. If you simplify this it equals 36+64=C^2, which then simplifies to 100=C^2. Then you take the square root of both sides (what number multiplied by itself = the number you are trying to get, in this case, 100). So then you get C=10 because 10x10=100. So the length of the diagonal brace is 10ft.
