While exercising Ricardo walked 1/8 of a mile in 1/9 of an hour. At this rate, how far will he have travelled after an hour?

1 answer:

6 0

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&hours\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{1}{8}&\frac{1}{9}\\\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{8}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~\frac{1}{9}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{8}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{1}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{8x}=\cfrac{1}{9} \\\\\\ 9=8x\implies \cfrac{9}{8}=x\implies 1\frac{1}{8}=x$

A diagonal of a cube measures square root 150cm. the diagonal of a face measures 10cm

leonid [27]

Answer: The finial answer is 15.8

This problem is just one about triangles! All of the faces of the cube are perpendicular to their adjacent faces, so the diagonal of one of the face will be a right angle with the edge of the cube. Thus, you can create a right triangle. Finally, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x, the length of the side of the cube.
