Answer:

The correct answer is D. 126

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this exercise, we need to know that two straight triangles that are sharing a vertex like in this picture are considered similar triangles. One property of the similar triangles is that exist a linear relationship between its sides. In this exercise, one triangle is ABC and the other CDE.

The relationship that we can write is between the length of its sides.

The relationship is a division between the length of the sides :

$\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{CE}{DE}$ ⇒

$\frac{140-x}{81}=\frac{x}{9}$

Solving the equation

$x=\frac{(140-x)}{81}.(9)$

$x=\frac{(140-x)}{9}$

$9x=140-x$

$10x=140$

$x=14$ ⇒

If the side AC is $140-x$ the length is

$140-14=126$

The correct option is D. 126

Max is observing the velocity of a runner at different times. After one hour, the velocity of the runner is 5 km/h. After two ho

Valentin [98]

You have velocity 1 of 5 km per hour after 1 hour and velocity 2 of 3 km per hour after 2 hours.

Part A)

Let Velocity = a +bt, with t being the time in hours.

For velocity 1 you have a +b = 5

For velocity 2, you have a + 2b =3

Now subtract velocity 1 from velocity 2:

a +2b - (a+b) = 3-5

Simplify to get b = -2

Now solve for a in the first equation:

a + b =5

Replace b with -2:

a - 2 = 5

a = 7

Now replace a and b in the original formula:

Velocity = 7 -2t

Part B)

Create a table with x and Y values to graph.

X axis would be the time and the velocity would be the Y axis

Your time would be 0 , 1, 2 3 and 4 hours.

Using the final equation from part A, replace t with the hours ans solve for the velocities, which become the y axis:

7 - 2(0) = 7-0 = 7

7 - 2(1) = 7-2 = 5

7 - 2(2) = 7-4 = 3

7 - 2(3) = 7-6 = 1

7-2(4) = 7-8 = -1

Now you have your x and y coordinates to plot on a graph:

(0,7) (1,5) (2,3) (3,1) and (4,-1)
