B is 5, you can solve this by first finding the value of a, which is 2, and then plug it into the other equation. 8+2=10 so we must also make the other side 10. We then do 10-5=5, 5 is the value of b
Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2
Answer:
1/2ft
Step-by-step explanation:
15/28=(5/7)(1 1/2)(w)
15/28=(5/7)(3/2)w
15/28=(15/14)w
(15/28)/(15/14)=w
(15/28)*(14/15)=w
w=14/28
w=1/2 ft
Answer:
15 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The cyclists will cover distance at a rate proportional to their speed. So, the distance ratio is ...
faster cyclist distance : slower cyclist distance = 3 : 1
Then the faster cyclist covers 3 : (3+1) = 3/4 of the total distance, or (3/4)(40 mi) = 30 mi.
That distance took 2 hours for the faster cyclist, so the speed was ...
speed = distance/time = 30 mi/(2 h) = 15 mi/h
