Will ran the longest

He ran for 56.57 yards, 13.56 yards longer than James.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Will ran the diagonal across a square field measuring 40 yards in each side.

The diagonal of a square can be obtained by the square root of the sum of the squares of its 2 sides [Because it forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle]

Hence when the side is 40 yards , the diagonal would be

\sqrt{40^{2} + 40^{2}}  = \sqrt{1600 + 1600}   = \sqrt{3200}  =56.57 yards

So Will ran for 56.57 yards

Step 2 :

James ran the diagonal of a rectangular field with 25 yards length and 35 yards width.

The diagonal of the rectangle can be obtained by the square root of the sum of squares of its length and width.

Hence when the length is 25 yards and width is 35 , the diagonal would be

\sqrt{35^{2} + 25^{2}}  = \sqrt{1225 + 625}} = \sqrt{1850} = 43.01 yards

So James ran for 43.01 yards

Step 3 :

Will ran for 56.57 yards and 43.01 yards.

Hence Will ran for longer distance of 56.57 yards, which is 13.56 yards more than James.

The equation C = 0.20x + 50 gives the cost C in dollars for renting a truck and
k0ka [10]

Answer:

0.20 dollars/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope actually has units. It has the meaning of 20 cents per mile. The units are cents per mile.

But it can also be 0.20 dollars/mile which is probably the way you should interpret it in a math class. That way it matches the units of the 50 which is for certain in dollars.

Multiply 3x by every value in the second bracket. Then multiply 2 by every value in the second bracket. Add like terms. (Only answers with the same square are like terms.)

If x is divided by 5 the remainder is 4. If why is divided by 5 the remainder is 1. What is the remainder when x+y is divided by
Naddik [55]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

\frac{x}{5}=q_1+\frac{4}{5}      (equ. 1)

\frac{y}{5}=q_2+\frac{1}{5}      (equ. 2)

We are asked:

\frac{x+y}{5}=q_3+\frac{r}{5}  (equ. 3) , what is r?

The q_i's represent the quotients you get.

r is the remainder of dividing x+y by 5.

We know that r is a number in {0,1,2,3,4}.

x=5q_1+4 (I got this by multiplying both sides of equ 1. by 5.)

y=5q_2+1 (I got this by multiplying both sides of equ 2. by 5.)

Let's add these equations together:

x+y=(5q_1+5q_2)+(4+1)

Factoring the 5 out for the q_i's part and simplify 4+1 gives:

x+y=5(q_1+q_2)+5

So 5 can't be the remainder of dividing something by 5 but see that we can factor this right hand expression more as:

x+y=5(q_1+q_2+1)

So q_3=q_1+q_2+1 while there is no remainder (the remainder is 0).

Let's do an example if you are not convinced at this point that the remainder will be 0.

So choose x=9 since 9/5 gives a remainder of 4.

And choose y=16 since 16/5 gives a remainder of 1.

x+y=9+16=25 and 25/5 gives a remainder of 0.
