Ann's watch runs 2 min. per hour too slow. Beth's watch runs 1 minute per hour too fast. For example, if both watches were corre

ct at 12:00 P.M. on a given day, then at 1:00 P.M., Ann's watch would read 12:58 P.M. and Beth's watch would read 1:01 P.M. Ann and Beth set there watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday. The next time they met, one of the watches was one hour ahead of the other. What was the earliest time this could have been?

Answer:

<em>At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

When two magnitudes have a linear dependency where one of them is the other by a constant quantity, we can say they are proportional. Like distance and time when moving at a constant speed, double time means double distance, triple time means triple distance and so on.

The problem explains how two watches run too slow or too fast in such a way that every hour they are 3 more minutes apart. If Ann and Beth set their watches to the correct time at noon on Sunday, by 1 pm their watches are 3 minutes apart. By 2 pm their watches are 6 minutes apart and so on.

When will their watches be 1 hour (60 minutes) apart? We'll use proportions to find it out.

If every hour they get 3 minutes apart, we need 60/3 = 20 hours to have their watches 1 hour apart.

Answer: At 8:00 am on next day, Beth's watch was one hour ahead of Ann's watch

Please help me :((( it’s geometry
NikAS [45]

\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

\tt Area:

To solve for the area of a triangle, we multiply the length and height, then divide that by two. L = 10. H = 7.

\tt 10*7=70\\70/2=35\\35=A

\tt Perimeter:

\tt Step~1:

To solve for the perimeter, or edges, of the triangle, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² to solve for the third side. We already know two measures: 10 and 7. Now we need to square them, add them together to get c², then take the root of that number.

\tt 7^2=49\\10^2=100\\100+49=\sqrt{149}\\\sqrt{149

We cannot simplify √149, so we either leave it, or round it.

\tt \sqrt{149}\\12.2066

This is rounded to the nearest 10,000.

\tt Step~2:

Now that we have the measure of the longest side, we can add all three sides together to get the perimeter of the triangle.

\tt 10+7+\sqrt{149}=17+\sqrt{149}=P\\Rounded~to~the~nearest~1,000th:~29.207=P

\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer: ~A=35,~P=17+\sqrt{149}}
