In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger. 
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle). 
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles

You read 50 pages in an hour your sister reads 40 pages in an hour how many more pages did you read than your sister reads in 1/
Elena-2011 [213]

To start to figure this problem out, we can first figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister.


50 - 40 = 10, so you read 10 more pages in 1 hour.


Now we have to figure out how much more you would read in 1/2 an hour. Since 1/2 an hour is 1/2 of an hour, we can divide 10 by 2 to figure out how many more pages you read in an hour compared to your sister. 10 divided by 2 is 5, so you read 5 more pages every half hour.
