Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the

y meet after 4 hours of riding.
a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist.

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? Put both values in the answerbox, separated with a comma, and select the appropriate units.

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr

Two garden plots are to have the same area. One is square and one is rectangular. The rectangular plot is 2 meters wide and 8 me
Crank

First, let's look at the formulas for the area of square and area of the rectangle.

A_{square}=a^2

A_{rectangle}=a\cdot b

And what this exercise states is that the areas are the same. So:

A_{square}=A_{rectangle}\Longrightarrow a^2=a\cdot b

Now put in the data.

a^2=2\cdot8

Solve for a:

a=\sqrt{2\cdot8}=\sqrt{16}=\boxed{4}

The side of the square garden plot is 4 meters.

Hope this helps.

A triangular road sign has a height of 3 feet and a base of 2.5 feet. How much larger in area is this sign than one with a heigh
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.
