Answer:

32.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is 65 miles per hour.

You want to keep your commute within 30 minutes, which is HALF AN HOUR.

THus, if you can go 65 miles AN HOUR, in HALF AN HOUR, you can go max, HALF OF THAT!!

So, \frac{1}{2}*65=32.5

Thus, you can go 32.5 miles, max

Answer:

The farthest distance would be 32.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed = 65 miles per hour,

If t represents the time ( in hours ) taken in travelling,

Since, time has to commute down less than 30 minutes,

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes,

\implies 1\text{ minute}=\frac{1}{60}\text{ hour}

\implies 30\text{ minutes}=\frac{30}{60}=\frac{1}{2}\text{ hour}

Thus,

t\leq \frac{1}{2}

i.e. the highest time taken = 1/2 hours,

We know that,

Distance = speed × time,

∵ Distance ∝ time,

⇒ Distance will farthest for largest time taken,

Hence, the farthest distance = 65\times \frac{1}{2} = 32.5 km.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 2 and 7 are alternate exterior angles which means they are congruent and have equal measures. This means you can write 3x+2=x+10 and solve for x.

3x+2=x+10

3x-x+2=x-x+10

2x+2=10

2x=8

x=4

the large Square above has area 9 is divided into 9 smaller squares of equal area what is the length of how strong and bold
Kay [80]
If one square is divided into 9 smaller equal squares, then they have to be arranged in 3 lines of 3, that is 3 smaller equal squares per side of the original big square. That said, the area of the big square is equal to the multiplication of 3 small squares sides times 3 small squares sides, call x the length of the small squares.
So,
area = 9 = 3x*3x
9x^2 = 9
x^2 = 1
x = 1
therefore the smaller squares have sides of 1 unit
