Person a can walk 5 miles in an hour.
Person b can walk 3 miles in an hour.
They are 12 miles apart, and after an hour they have covered 8 miles.

8:1 = 12:x

8x = 12

x = 1.5

After an hour and a half, they will meet.

Check:
5 miles : 1 hour = 7.5 miles : 1.5 hours

3 miles : 1 hour = 4.5 miles : 1.5 hours

Together, they should have covered 12 miles.
7.5 + 4.5 = 12

It takes 1.5 hours to meet eachother.

Need help with this problems<br>E=10gh<br>solve for g
Nat2105 [25]
Solve for g:
e = 10 g h
e = 10 g h is equivalent to 10 g h = e:
10 g h = e
Divide both sides by 10 h:
Answer:  g = e/(10 h)

Which equation could be used to find the height of the flagpole
Sauron [17]
X = height of pole (in meters)

With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters. 

The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)

------------------

Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle

So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)

This expression is listed. The answer is choice B

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 110 m two of the links are 40 and 30 m what is the area of the triangle
sp2606 [1]
You have to use the formula to find the area of the triangle Remember,the area equation is b times h to the b divided by 2.Doing this will get you 600 m.
