Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.

If d is the distance between the earth and the sun, then:

A kitten and a puppy found a sausage which is 14cm long and started eating it simultaneously from each end. The kitten is eating
julsineya [31]

It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.
