Answer:

The Distance cover by both the Runners is same = 10 miles  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question ,

The Speed of first runners (S 1) = 5 miles per hour

The speed of second runners (S 2)  = 4 miles per hour

Let The Time taken by First runner (T 1 ) = T hour

But the second runner  arrives half hour after the first runner ,

I.e The Time taken by Second runner (T 2) = ( T + \frac{1}{2} )

Now from Distance = Speed × Time

Since both the runners start from same place and run along the same trail

SO ,Both the Distance cover by both are same , D 1 = D 2

i.e Speed 1 × Time 1 = Speed 2 × Time 2

    5 mph × T            =  4 mph   ×  ( T + \frac{1}{2} )

    5 T =  4 T + ( 4 × \frac{1}{2} )

Or,  5 T - 4 T = 2

∴       T    =  2 hour  ,

Time take by first = T1 = T = 2 hour

Time take by second = T2 = T + \frac{1}{2} = (2  +  \frac{1}{2} )hour = \frac{5}{2}

Now the Distance cover = Speed × Time

              Distance   (D1)          = 5 mph  × 2 hour = 10 mile

And        Distance    (D2)         =  4 mph  × \frac{5}{2} = 10 miles

Hence, As The Distance cover by both the Runners is same = 10 miles  Answer

nordsb [41]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Allow me to revise your question for a better understanding and I hope it will fit the original one.  

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 72 units squared. The base is 6 and the other side is 13 Find the missing height.

Here is my answer:

Given:

The area: 72 units squared.

The base: 6 units

As we know that the area of the parallelogram is represented by below formula:

A = b*h where h is the height and b is the base

In this situation, we know:

72 = 6*h

<=> h = 12

So the missing height is 12 units
