recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?

so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.
then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.
let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.
the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.

Answer:
The equation for finding the hypotenuse is:
c^2+c^2=h^2
For example, in the first exercise:
8^2+10^2=164^2
For clearing the equation, find out the root of 164=
12.8
Hypotenuse of the first triangle is 12.8!
Let me help you with the next, if you still dont get it:
8^2+13^2=233^2
Root of 233: 15.2
Hypotenuse of second triangle is 15.2!
180-34=146
146-5=141
ratio=1:4
1+4=5
141÷5=28.2
x=28.2
y=112.8
I may be wrong, ask for more opinions
