If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.

Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so 
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x  = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles

AUVW - APOR
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles are similar, therefore,

\frac{UV}{PQ} = \frac{VW}{QR}

\frac{77}{66} = \frac{63}{x}

\frac{7}{6} = \frac{63}{x}

Cross multiply

7*x = 63*6

7x = 378

Divide both sides by 7

x = 54

Derrick is placing a right triangle in the coordinate plane. He knows that the longer leg is 3 times the length of the shorter l
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Longer leg is placed on X axis.

Let the longer leg be at A(0,0) and B(3 a,0),or (-3 a,0), which is  either base or altitude.

AB= 3 a

As longer leg = 3 × shorter leg

Shorter leg should be placed  either at (0,a) or (0,-a) maintaining triangle as right angled triangle.
