Answer:

The total distance cycled by Jason in 3 hours were 20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total distance cycled in 3 hours, first we have to calculate the miles cycled in the first 2 hours, this is:

2HoursDist=7.5\frac{miles}{hour} *2hour=15miles

In the first 2 hours Jason cycled 15 miles, now we can apply the distance cycled in the 3rd hour:

TotalDistance=15+\frac{1}{4}*TotalDistance\\\frac{3}{4}TotalDistance=15\\TotalDistance=20miles

The total distance cycled by Jason in 3 hours were 20 miles.

7 1/2 * 2 = 15

The 3rd hour was 1/4 of the total distance in 3 hours. 

1/4 = 0.25 as a decimal, and 25% as a percent. 

15 (0.25) = 3.75
15 + 3.75 = 18.75

0.75 = 3/4 as a fraction.

So, he cycled 18 3/4 miles in 3 hours. 

I hope this helps, and I am sorry if I get this question wrong. (which is in all likelihood)

A right triangle has legs of lengths 9 cm and 12 cm. calculate the length of the hypotenuse?
just olya [345]
Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.

Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because c= \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}. This works, but it is slow.

The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.

Find the missing side<br> 13 ft<br> 5 ft <br> x
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Assuming you're referring to the sides of a right triangle, the missing side X would be 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the two legs of a right triangle squared and added together is equal to the hypotenuse squared. 13^{2} is 169, 5^{2} is 25, 169 - 25 = 144. Take the square root of 144 and you'll get 12, which is the missing side of the right triangle.
