Answer:

The rate  of descent is -67.5\frac{feet}{minute}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the rate or slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Let

x------> the time in minutes

y----> the elevation in feet

we have

A(0,6,678)\ B(48,3,438)

Substitute the values

m=\frac{3,438-6,678}{48-0}

m=\frac{-3,240}{48}

m=-67.5\frac{feet}{minute}

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio
Anton [14]
HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
          4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
          12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
          x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

        - 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

        - 3x = 3(1.5) =  4.5

       - 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5

Vlad1618 [11]

well, 26+6 is 32, so divide that by 3 and you'd get 10.67, making daniel 32 by that time and his son being 10 years old

its simple math really, also, i hope this helps you ^-^
