Answer:
a = 20; b = 2√101
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle at upper left and the one at lower right are similar. Ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so ...
200/a = a/2
400 = a^2
√400 = 20 = a
Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, the value of b can be found:
b = √(a^2 + 2^2) = √(400 +4) = √4·√101
b = 2√101

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
p = power washer and g = generator
6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4
4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6
---------------------
24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)
-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)
---------------------add
-24g = - 240
g = -240 / -24
g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr
6p + 6g = 90
6p + 6(10) = 90
6p + 60 = 90
6p = 90 - 60
6p = 30
p = 30/6
p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr
check...
4p + 8g = 100
4(5) + 8(10) = 100
20 + 80 = 100
100 = 100 (correct)
there are 60 minutes per hour
24/60 = 0.4 miles per minute
0.4*5 = 2
they will ride 2 miles in 5 minutes
