Answer:

speed of westbound car= 50 miles/hour

speed of eastbound car = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of westbound car = x

According to given scenario, speed of eastbound car will be = x + 4

Now

Distance given = 208 miles

Total time = 2 hours

As both cars pass each other so by using the formula beloe:

Speed of both cars = Distance / Time

x +  (x + 4) = 208 / 2

2x +4 = 104

Subtracting 4 from both sides

2x = 104 - 4

2x = 100

Dividing both sides by 2

x (speed of westbound car)= 50 miles/hour

x + 4 (speed of eastbound car) = 50 + 4 = 54 miles/hour

i hope it will help you!

Please help me! I am struggling
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Oh man! I totally understand why you are struggling!

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the textbook or the cheat sheet?

Lets go with the cheat sheet.

So, notice the line segments, correct?

The way to find those is Pythagorean Theorem.

The squares of the legs of the triangle add up to the length of the hypotenuse squared. Imagine that the lengths of the sides ARE Hypotenuses. Then, form a triangle, with the legs (Other sides of the triangle except the hypotenuse) either vertically or horizontally(I explain it better below).

In other words, we need to create a right triangle with AB as the hypotenuse to use Pythagorean Theorem. How do we do that?

Count the number of units both vertically and horizontally from point A to B. Essentially, make a horizontal line segment starting at A, and stop it over B. Then, make a vertical line that goes down to B from that ending point (Remember to count the number of units along the way).

Those are your legs. Then, use those measurements in the Pythagorean Theorem:

12^{2} + 8^{2}=AB

I'm confident you can solve this! If you know mathematics...

Then, repeat for either AD or BC.

Then, use the formula for area of the Rectangle. How do we know that it is a rectangle? Well, I'm skipping this part because it will take too long to do, but I can explain it later if you want!

Oh, well.

Hope this helps! Stay Safe!
