Why do you divide by 60 after calculating the area of the trapezoid (to calculate the distance)? I got 900 but I don’t know why

you divide by 60 to get 15 as your answer. Ignore the pen marks.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are trying to do is a nice way to solve this problem. Without knowing any physics, you are using what math you know to get the answer. You are actually very close to being correct, and you are right. You do have to divide by 60.

Here's why and it is the one bit of physics you have to know.

The speed is km/hour. That word hour is the culprit. Your time is in minutes and you have to get it into hours. In physics, the units have to be consistent.

So ...

b1 = 19 minutes which is 19 min [1 hour / 60 minutes] = 19/60 = 0.31667 hour

b2 = 26 minutes which is 26 min [ 1 hour/60 minutes] =  26/60 = 0.4333 hour

h = 40 km/hour

Area = (0.31667 hour + 0.4333 hour)*40 km/hour /2

Area = 0.75 hour * 40 km/hr //2

Area = 15 km

Which equation represents a line parallel to the line shown on the graph?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

-3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to the line shown is formed as follows.

It passes through the points (-6,0) and (-8,6)

The gradient of the line=Δy/Δx

=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

=(6-0)/(-8--6)

=6/-2

=-3

The line parallel to the line shown has the same gradient i.e -3

Therefore the line in question is

-3x+3.

Answer:

Randall: 44, Amy: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Four years ago, their age added up to 71. Since four years have passed and they've each grown four years older since then, their ages added up together is 79. Here is the equation for Amy: x + (x + 9) = 79. We can simplify to get 35. Now we add 9 to 35 to get Randall's age. So, Amy's age is 35 and Randall's age is 44, and 35 + 44 = 79.
