Two cars, which start 200200200 miles apart, drive toward each other. The two cars move at a constant speed, but one car drives

151515 miles per hour faster than the other. After 222 hours, the cars pass each other. If rrr represents the speed of the slower car, which equation best models the situation?

Answer:

The equation that describes the situation is 200 = 4r + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between the two cars = 200 miles

Let the speed of the slower car be r miles/hr

The speed if the faster car = (r + 15) miles/hr

The cars pass each other after 2 hours

Distance = rate * time

200 = (r*2) + (r +15)2

200 = 2r + 2r +30

200 = 4r + 30 (this is the equation that represents the situation)

Collect like terms

200 – 30 = 4r

170 = 4r

Therefore,

r = 170/4

r = 42.5 miles/hr for the slower car

which of the following could be side lenths of a right triangle? A.) 0.9cm, 1.2cm, 1.5cm B.) 0.9cm, 1.5 cm, 1.5cm C.) 0.9 cm, 1.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

B: You need a side that is longer than 2 equal sides. B is incorrect.

A: Try

9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2 if that works, A will work.

81 + 144 = 225

This works. I used these numbers because they were easier to see.

0.9^2 + 1.2^2 = 1.5^2

0.81 + 1.44 = 2.25

2.25 = 2.25

That is the answer A

But we have to check the  other two.

C:

0.9^2 = 0.81

1.2^2 = 1.44

1.8^2 = 3.24   This won't work. 3.24 is just too big.

D:

0.9^2 = 0.81

0.6^2 = 0.36

1.5^2 = 2.25   It's too far away.

Points b d and f are midpoints of ten sides of ace ec=44 df=25 find ac
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The length of AC is;

C. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

By the midpoint of a triangle theorem, we have that a segment that spans across and intersects with the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is equal to half the length of the third side and parallel to the length of the third side

The given parameters are;

The midpoints of ΔACE are B, D, and F

The length of EC = 44

The length of DF = 25

Therefore, we have;

Given that DF is a midsegment of triangle ΔACE, then DF ║ AC and

the length of DF = (1/2) × AC the length of AC

∴ The length of AC = 2 × The length of DF

The length of DF = 25

∴ The length of AC = 2 × 25 = 50

The length of AC = 50
