Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A bee flies at 12 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 14 ​minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 8 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 18 minutes. A. Write the equation. Let d be the distance of the flowerbed from the hive. B. how far away is the hive from the flower bed.

First we need to calculate the time taken by the bee to fly to a flowerbird to its hive using the formula;

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

If a bee flies at 12 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive, then the time taken by the bee is expressed as;

t1 = d/12 ....... 1

If the bee then flies directly back to the hive at 8 feet per second, the time taken by the bird will be:

t2 = d/8 ....... 2

Total time taken by the bee to and fro will be the sum total of both times;

t1+t2 = d/12+d/8

t11+t2 = 2d+3d/24

t1+t2 = 5d/24 ........ 3

If the bee stays at the bee stays at the flowerbed for 14 ​minute and away from the hive for 18minutes, the total time used by the bird during the journey will be 18-14 = 4 minutes

converting 4 minutes to seconds

4 minutes = 4*60 = 240seconds

The equation that can be used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is gotten by equating equation 3 to  the total time used by the bird during the journey i.e;

5d/24 = 240

5d = 24*240

5d = 5760

b) To know how far is the flowerbed from the​ hive, we will solve the resulting equation in a for the value of d as shown

Given 5d = 5760

Divide both sides by 5

5d/5 = 5760/5

d = 1152ft

Hence the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is 1152ft

which statement is correct? A. ED intersects AB. B. EC is perpendicular to DB. C. AE and DB intersects at point C. D. EB is perp
Ivan

The only true statement is line segment ED intersects line segment AB.

<h3>What is a transversal?</h3>

We know when a transversal intersects two parallel lines at two distinct points,

Two pairs of interior and alternate angles are formed such that the measure of interior angles are same and the measure of alternate angles is also the same.

From the given diagram and going through the options we can surely conclude that line segment ED intersects line segment AB.
