John drives 257 miles and uses 9 gallons of gas. How many miles per gallon did he get?

1 answer:

5 0

This problem can solve by the rule of three:
275 miles---------------9 gallons
x---------------------------1 gallons.

x=(275 miles * 1 gallons) / 9 gallons=28.55555.... miles≈28.56 miles.

Answer: 28.56 miles.

Answer:

$\text{Length of AB is }\frac{ah}{a+h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △KMN, ABCD is a square where KN=a, MP⊥KN, MP=h.

we have to find the length of AB.

Let the side of square i.e AB is x units.

As ADCB is a square ⇒ ∠CDN=90°⇒∠CDP=90°

⇒ CP||MP||AB

In ΔMNP and ΔCND

∠NCD=∠NMP (∵ corresponding angles)

∠NDC=∠NPM (∵ corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔMNP~ΔCND

Also, ΔKAP~ΔKPM by similarity rule as above.

Hence, corresponding sides are in proportion

$\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{CD}{MP} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{AB}{PM} \\\\\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{x}{h} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{x}{h}\\\\\frac{NP}{ND}=\frac{h}{x} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}\\\\\frac{PD}{ND}=\frac{h}{x}-1 \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{AP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}-1\\$
