Holly rode her bike for 24 miles at 6 miles per hour. She finished her ride at 1:00 p.m.

1 answer:

8 0

Time = distance/speed
Since you want to find the time Holly spent riding, you need to divide her distance (24 miles) by her speed (6 miles/hour) to get the number of hours (4) that she rode. Her starting time added to the time spend riding will give her ending time. One must subtract the riding time from the ending time to find the starting time.

Selection A is appropriate.

What is the measurement of the longest line segment in a right rectangular prism that is 26 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 2 in

EastWind [94]

Answer:

$6\sqrt{19} \approx 26.153$ inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest line segment in a right rectangular prism is the diagonal that connects two opposite vertices. On the first diagram attached, the green line segment connecting A and G is one such diagonals. The goal is to find the length of segment $\mathsf{AG}$ .

In this diagram (not to scale,) $\mathsf{AB} = 26$ (length of prism,) $\mathsf{AC} = 2$ (width of prism,) $\mathsf{AE} = 2$ (height of prism.)

Pythagorean Theorem can help find the length of $\mathsf{AG}$ , one of the longest line segments in this prism. However, note that this theorem is intended for right triangles in 2D, not the diagonal in a 3D prism. The workaround is to simply apply this theorem on two different right triangles.

Start by finding the length of line segment $\mathsf{AD}$ . That's the black dotted line in the diagram. In right triangle $\triangle\mathsf{ABD}$ (second diagram,)

Segment $\mathsf{AD}$ is the hypotenuse.
One of the legs of $\triangle\mathsf{ABD}$ is $\mathsf{AB}$ . The length of $\mathsf{AB}$ is $26$ , same as the length of this prism.
Segment $\mathsf{BD}$ is the other leg of this triangle. The length of $\mathsf{BD}$ is $2$ , same as the width of this prism.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle $\triangle\mathsf{ABD}$ to find the length of $\mathsf{AB}$ , the hypotenuse of this triangle:

$\mathsf{AD} = \sqrt{\mathsf{AB}^2 + \mathsf{BD}^2} = \sqrt{26^2 + 2^2}$ .

Consider right triangle $\triangle \mathsf{ADG}$ (third diagram.) In this triangle,

Segment $\mathsf{AG}$ is the hypotenuse, while
$\mathsf{AD}$ and $\mathsf{DG}$ are the two legs.

$\mathsf{AD} = \sqrt{26^2 + 2^2}$ . The length of segment $\mathsf{DG}$ is the same as the height of the rectangular prism, $2$ (inches.) Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to right triangle $\triangle \mathsf{ADG}$ to find the length of the hypotenuse $\mathsf{AG}$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathsf{AG} &= \sqrt{\mathsf{AD}^2 + \mathsf{GD}^2} \\ &= \sqrt{\left(\sqrt{26^2 + 2^2}\right)^2 + 2^2}\\ &= \sqrt{\left(26^2 + 2^2\right) + 2^2} \\&= 6\sqrt{19} \\&\approx 26.153\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, the length of the longest line segment in this prism is $6\sqrt{19} \approx 26.153$ inches.

What is the slope of the line through (2,5) and (-1,2)?

Luden [163]

Answer:

The slope of the line is m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = 2 - 5 / -1 - 2

m = -3 / -3

m = 1

X1 is 2

Y1 is 5

X2 is -1

Y2 is 2

PLEASE HELP..... I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

Yakvenalex [24]

For the first part:

Every shirt she grabs, will cost her dollars, so if she grabs 3 shirts, then the cost of the shirts is:

$12+12+12=3(12)$

With the same rationale, if she grabs 2 pairs of jeans, the cost of the jeans is:

$19+19=2(19)$

So, her total is:

$3(12)+2(19)$

If you subtract 3 from the total, then the expression is:

$3(12)+2(19)-3=36+38-3=71$

For the second part:

If she's paying 3 less for each shirt, then the cost of 3 shirts will become:

$(12-3)+(12-3)+(12-3)=3(12-3)$

In the same fashion, for the two jeans:

$(19-3)+(19-3)=2(19-3)$

So the expression for the total cost is:

$3(12-3)+2(19-3)=36-9+38-6=59$

For number three:

The amounts are different because the cost of the total purchase is different than the cost of each element that makes up the total purchase.

For number four:

If you're the owner, you want to give the smallest amount of discount (the one in part 1/a).

So you could clarify by saying there's 3 dollars of the TOTAL purchase's cost.

What Numbers Go Into The Venn Diagram

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

(a)The total number of outcomes where the sum is 9 or

greater than 9 is 10

(b)Total number of outcomes where the sum is odd = 18

(c)Total number of outcomes where the sum greater or equal to 9 and is

also odd = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Sample Space = { Sum of the two digits when two dices are thrown together}

or, S = {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}

(a) The number of ordered pairs where sum is 9 or greater than 9

= { sum is 9 , Sum is 10 , Sum is 11, Sum is 12}

= {(6,3)(3,6),(4,5)(5,4) , (5,5), (6,4),(4,6) , (6,5)(5,6), (6,6)}

Hence the total number of outcomes where the sum is 9 or

greater than 9 is 10

(b) The number of ordered pairs where sum is odd.

= { Sum is 3 , Sum is 5, Sum is 7, Sum is 9, Sum is 11}

= {(1,2)(2,1), (4,1)(1,4),(2,3)(3,2) , (6,1), (1,6),(5,2),(2,5),(4,3)(3,4) ,

(6,3)(3,6), (4,5)(5,4), (6,5),(5,6)} = 18

Hence total number of outcomes where the sum is odd = 18

Here, the possible outcomes are = { Sum is 9 , Sum is 11}

={ (6,3)(3,6), (4,5)(5,4), (6,5),(5,6)} = 6

Hence total number of outcomes where the sum greater or equal to 9 and is also odd = 6
