his average speed is 40 mph. How fast does he need to drive, to get the right speed average?

to average 60 mph for 2 laps his total speed needs to equal 60 x 2 = 120

his first lap was 40 so his 2nd lap needs to be 120-40 = 80 mph

You collect a total of $75 in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 4 : 4 : 7.

<span>Each smaller donation was for $20 The largest donation was $15 greater than the smaller donation. First, determine the size of each donation. Since they are in a ratio of 4:4:7, it's easiest to add the ratios together (4+4+7) = 15. Then divide the total donation by that sum (75/15) = 5. Finally, multiply 5 by each of the ratios. 5 * 4 = 20, 5 * 4 = 20, and 5 * 7 = 35 So the 2 smaller donations were $20 each, and the largest donation was for $35. The largest donation was $35 - $20 = $15 larger than one of the smaller donations.</span>

Can I get some help, it is due in 15 minutes and I need help. Thanks, any help appreciated

Well, I'm way past the 15 min mark, but here's how to do the question.

With this, you will need to use the distance formula, $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ , on XY, YZ, and ZX.

XY: $\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(1-6)^2}$

Firstly, solve inside the parentheses: $\sqrt{(2)^2+(-5)^2}$

Next, solve the exponents: $\sqrt{4+25}$

Next, solve the addition, and XY's distance will be √29

(The process is the same with the other 2 sides, so I'll go through them real quickly)

YZ:

$\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(3-1)^2}\\ \sqrt{(3)^2+(2)^2}\\ \sqrt{9+4}\\ \sqrt{13}$

ZX:

$\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(6-3)^2}\\ \sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\ \sqrt{25+9}\\ \sqrt{34}$

Now that we got the 3 sides, we can add them up: $\sqrt{29}+\sqrt{13} +\sqrt{34} =14.8$

In short, your answer is 14.8, or the second option.

Need help with this geometry question, solving for x and please explain the formula for this

Alborosie

Alright, so what we can take as a given is that arcDE/2= ∠CDE=2x+20 since the arc corresponding to the angle is 2*the angle. To solve for arcDE, we multiply both sides by 2 to get 2(2x+20)=4x+40=arcDE. Since the arcs in a circle add up to 360 degrees and we only have -20+30x and arcDE, we have -20+40+4x+30x=360 using the associative property. Simplifying, we get 20+34x=340. Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get 340=34x. Next, we can divide both sides by 34 to get 10=x.
