Answer:

The two cars will be almost 188 miles far from each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel Time for Car 1 = t = 3.5 hours

Travel time for Car 2 = t-1 = 3.5 - 1 = 2.5 hours

Average speed of car 1 = 40 mph

Average speed of car 2 = 50 mph

Distance traveled by Car 1 = 40*3.5 = 140 miles

Distance Traveled by Car 2 = 50*2.5 = 125 miles

As both the roads are at a 90 degree angle. The path of the two cars and the joining line of their final position forms a right angle triangle where:

altitude = a = 140

base = b = 125

Distance of cars after 3.5 hours = c = ?

According to Pythagoras theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 140² + 125²

c² = 19600+15625

c = √35225

c = 187.68

Almost 188 miles.

1. Write the following in exponential form and as a multiplication sentence using only 10 as a factor
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

1. a. 1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10² = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴ = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

3. a. 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000. This is equivalent to 10 raised to the power of 3. Writing this in multiplication sentence using 19 as the only factor, we would have:

1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100

Using the same logic as explained in (a) above, we would have:

100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10²

Convert 10² to 100 and multiply both numbers

3 × 10² = 3 × 10 × 10 = 3 × 100 = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴

2.16 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 2.16 × 10,000

Multiplying both numbers, since we have 4 zeros, move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

2.16 × 10,000 = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 800 ÷ 10 × 10 × 10

800 ÷ 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000, since we are dividing, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

800 ÷ 1,000 = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 754.2 ÷ 10 × 10

754.2 ÷ 100

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

754.2 ÷ 100 = 7.542

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the lengths of two sides and the angle between them, so use the Law of Cosines to find the third side.

x^2 = 10.5^2+ 5.4^2 -2(10.5)(5.4)cos20°

x ≈ 5.73 units

What is the arithmetic sequence of a1=228 n=28 sn=2982
Art [367]

Answer:

use the formula sn= n(a1+an)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2982=28(228+an)/2

5964=28(228+an)

5964/28=228+an

213=228+an

an=-15(last term)

to find difference use formula

an = a+(n-1)d

-15=228+(28-1)d

-243=27d

d=-243/27

d=-9

arithmetic sequence  can be found be keep on subtracting 9 from 228

hence the arithmetic sequence is

228, 219, 210, 201, 192, 183, 174........-15
