Angles α and β are the two acute angles in a right triangle, where α = 5x 3 + 20 and β = 2x 3 + 14. Find α.
Tom [10]
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, so
  α + β = 90
  (5x/3 +20) + (2x/3) + 14) = 90 . . . . . . substitute given values
  7x/3 +34 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
  7x/3 = 56 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 34
  x = (3/7)*56 = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/7

Then the value of α is ...
  α = 5*24/3 +20 = 60

Paula walks 1/12 mile in 5/3 minutes. What rate is equivalent to the rate she walked?
mel-nik [20]

The rate that is equivalent to the rate Paula walked is 1/20 mile/minute OR 0.05 mile/minute

<h3>Calculating Rate </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the rate which is equivalent to the rate Paula walked

Using the formula,

Rate = \frac{Distance}{Time}

From the given information,

Distance = 1/12 mile

Time = 5/3 minutes

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

Rate =\frac{\frac{1}{12} }{\frac{5}{3} }

Rate = \frac{1}{12} \div \frac{5}{3}

Rate = \frac{1}{12} \times \frac{3}{5}

Rate = \frac{3}{60}

Rate = \frac{1}{20} mile/minute

Hence, the rate that is equivalent to the rate Paula walked is 1/20 mile/minute OR 0.05 mile/minute
