Answer:

Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

Explanation:

 Distance traveled = Speed x Time

 Speed of Efren = 4 mi/h

 Speed of Gregory = 8.5 mi/h

 Let the time of catch up be t hours.

 Time of journey of Efren before catch up = (t+0.5)hours, since he starts before half hour.

 Distance traveled by Efren = 4 x (t+0.5) miles

 Time of journey of Gregory before catch up = t hours.

 Distance traveled by Gregory = 8.5 x t miles

If they catch up the distance traveled by them is same, so equating both distances.

4 x (t+0.5) = 8.5 x t

4.5t = 2

t = 0.44 hours =26.67 minutes = 26 minutes 40 seconds.

So Gregory will catch up Efren after 26 minutes 40 seconds.

What is the area of triangle EDF?
Ann [662]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BAC ~ ∠EDF means that the triangles are similar. So the legs of the triangle share the same proportions, even if the sizes are different.

Since they share the same proportions, the same operations can be performed on each base to find the area.

The answer can be found with the knowledge that the area of a triangle is half of the height * width. You know the width of ∠BAC is 4, and the area is 8, so 16 (the area doubled) / 4 is the height. The width and height of ∠BAC are the same, and since the proportions are also the same, the width and height of ∠EDF are both 3. So the area is the width (3) times the height (3) divided by 2.

3*3 = 9

9/2 = 4.5

So the area is 4.5

Use Cramers Rule to solve the system <br> 2x - 3y = 11<br> -6x + 8y = 34
Nastasia [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

2x - 3y = 11

-6x + 8y = 34

find : the solutions of the system by using Cramers Rule.

solutions:

in the matrix 2x2 form =>

[ 2 -3] [x] [11]

=

[-6 8] [ y] [34]

D =

| 2 -3 |

|-6 8 |

= 8×2 - (-3) (-6)

= 16-18 = -2

Dx = | 11 -3 |

| 34 8 |

= 11×8 - (-3) (34)

= 88 + 102

= 190

Dy = | 2 11 |

|-6 34 |

= 2×34 - (-6) (11)

= 68 + 66

= 134

x = Dx/D = 190/-2 = -95

y = Dy/D = 134/-2 = -67

the solutions = {-95, -67}

Write an equation for the line described. Give the answer in standard form. through (2,6), m= -5​
LiRa [457]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5x +y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your point and slope make this ...

  y -6 = -5(x -2)

  y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation
