A train leaves Little​ Rock, Arkansas, and travels north at 85

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
7 0
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

we know the train traveling north is going at 85 km/h, and the one traveling south is going 70 km/h.

as they move apart, the distance between them is increased, and at some point is 465 kilometers.

let's say the one traveling north by the time the 465 kilometers are met, has been traveled "d" kilometers, then the one going south has traveled the slack from 465 and "d", namely "465 - d".

let's also keep in mind that since both trains took off at the same time, they have been traveling the same amount of hours, namely "t" hours.

\bf \begin{array}{lcccl}
&\stackrel{km s}{distance}&\stackrel{km/h}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Northbound Train}&d&85&t\\
\textit{Southbound Train}&465-d&70&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=85t\\
465-d=70t\\
--------\\
465-\boxed{85t}=70t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
465=155t\implies \cfrac{465}{155}=t\implies 3=t

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with a diameter 8yrd.
nalin [4]

Answer:

Part 1) The area of the circle is A=50.24\ yd^2

Part 2) The circumference of the circle is C=25.12\ yd

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

The area of a circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=8/2=4\ yd ---> the radius is half the diameter

\pi =3.14

substitute

A=(3.14)(4)^{2}

A=50.24\ yd^2

step 2

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=\pi D

we have

D=8\ yd

\pi =3.14

substitute

C=(3.14)8

C=25.12\ yd

SOLVE 6-9. State of each triangle is a right triangle
11111nata11111 [884]

To find out if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem(which can only be used for right triangles):

a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse or the longest side) And you can plug in the side lengths into this equation. If they are the same number on both sides, it is a right triangle, if they are different numbers it is not a right triangle.


6.) a² + b² = c²

(4√3)² + (11)² = (13)²

(16(3)) + 121 = 169

48 + 121 = 169

169 = 169 It IS a right triangle


7.) a² + b² = c²

(5)² + (2√14)² = (9)²

25 + (4(14)) = 81

25 + 56 = 81

81 = 81 It IS a right triangle


8.) a² + b² = c²

(6)² + (√49)² = (√82)²

36 + 49 = 82

85 = 82 It is NOT a right triangle


9.) a² + b² = c²

(13)² + (2√39)² = (16)²

169 + (4(39)) = 256

169 + 156 = 256

325 = 256 It is NOT a right triangle
