Can someone help me figure this one out?

A biker travels the 120 mi from New York , NY to Wilmington, DE in 8 hours. A bus, a truck, and a rider on a horse take the same

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

First, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

We know that the distance is 120mi.

A) For the biker we know that:

Time = 8hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/8h = 15 mi/h.

B) For the bus we know that:

Time = 2 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/2h = 60 mi/h.

C) For the truck we know that:

Time = 2.5 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/2.5h = 48 mi/h.

D) For the rider on a horse we know that:

Time = 18.75 hours.

Speed = Distance/Time = 120mi/18.75h = 6.4 mi/h.

E) The equation for the speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time.

You can see that time is in the denominator, this means that if for a fixed distance, the time increases, then the denominator increases, which would imply that the speed decreases.

Then the speed is inversely proportional to the time when the distance is fixed.

Answer:

Autocratic Leadership

Step-by-step explanation:

Autocratic Leadership is when leaders control members over their individual ideas, not putting into consideration the group members's decisions. They usually only make choices based on their beliefs and idea, ignoring the advise of others.

This could be found here, where the coach have the team wear dark uniforms because he likes it, even though the team decided they would like to wear white jerseys instead.

The first step when adding or subtracting rational expression with unlike denominator is to

topjm [15]

To add or subtract rational expressions with unlike denominators, first find the LCM of the denominator. The LCM of the denominators of fraction or rational expressions is also called least common denominator, or LCD. Write each expression using the LCD.

In need of geometry help, once again my stupid brain cant remember anything.

You cannot rely on the drawing alone to prove or disprove congruences. Instead, pull out the info about the sides and angles being congruent so we can make our decision.

The diagram shows that:

Side AB = Side XY (sides with one tick mark)
Side BC = Side YZ (sides with double tickmarks)
Angle C = Angle Z (similar angle markers)

We have two pairs of congruent sides, and we also have a pair of congruent angles. We can't use SAS because the angles are not between the congruent sides. Instead we have SSA which is not a valid congruence theorem (recall that ambiguity is possible for SSA). The triangles may be congruent, or they may not be, we would need more information.

---------------

So to answer the question if they are congruent, I would say "not enough info". If you must go with a yes/no answer, then I would say "no, they are not congruent" simply because we cannot say they are congruent. Again we would need more information.
