To calculate this you can use the Pythagorean Theorem, so if one pole is the height, the distance from top of one to bottom of other is hypotenuse, you can solve for the base by taking the square root of (20^2 - 12^2) or 16 which is the answer.

There is a quadrilateral MNPQ in which side MN is congruent to side PQ and side NP is parallel to side MQ. The diagonal MP and t
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: QN = 12

Step-by-step explanation: This quadrilateral is a paralelogram because its 2 opposite sides (NP and MQ) are parallel and the other 2 (MN and PQ) are congruent.

In paralelogram, diagonals bisect each other, which means QR = RN.

If QR = RN:

QR = 6

Then,

QN = QR + RN

QN = 6 + 6

QN = 12

USE A MODEL Olivia and her brother William had a bicycle race. Olivia rode at a speed
Anni [7]

Answer:

Let the total distance Aileen ran be 'x'

Let the distance ran by Andrew be 'y'

Refer to graph attached for graphical representation of distance travelled by both.

Applying the formula,

distance=speed*time

x=20*t      Equation  1

y= 15*t       equation 2

Since it can be easily understood by the graph attached, that

x=150+y  equation 3

Now putting values of x and y in equation 3

20*t =150 +15*t.

5t= 150

t=30 seconds.

putting the values of t in both the equation 1 and 2

x=20t

=20*30

x  = 600 feet

So the distance ran by Aileen is 600 feet, whereas Andrew ran 450 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Do not mind the names just change them. I had the same question before with different names so that is why. Hope this helps:)

Answer:

0.888...

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on how many decimal places you want, or write it as a repeating decimal like I did above. Rounded answers like below would also be correct if you were asked to round it to the nearest tenth, hundredth, thousandth, etc...

0.9
