Answer:
The speed on motorboat is 20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat
if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph
The total hours is 4 hours
Mathematically; speed = distance/time
Time on ski is 27/x+ 10
Time on motor boat is 62/x
The addition of both is 4
Thus;
27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4
27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)
27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)
89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x
4x^2 -49x-620 = 0
using the quadratic formula;
{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a
where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620
= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8
So we have
49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8
Speed cannot be negative
(49 + 111)/8
= 20 mph
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other, that is, if one slope is a/b, the other is -b/a
in this case, the given slope is 1/3, so the other line's slope is -3/1, which is -3
from the graph we see that the y intercept of line b is -4, so the equation of line b is: y=-3x-4
CL ≈ AE and HG≈ZR and ∠L≈∠E as both triangles are isosceles so CL=HL and AE=EZ
so HL≈AE≈ZR≈EZ so according to side angle side ΔCLH andΔ AZE both are congruent so side CH≈AZ
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AB = BC the the triangle is isosceles and thus
∠ A = ∠ C = 8x
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°
Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180
44x + 8x + 8x = 180, that is
60x = 180 ( divide both sides by 60 )
x = 3
Thus
∠ A = ∠ C = 8x = 8(3) = 24°
∠ B = 44x = 44(3) = 132°
