Answer:
ED = 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔAEB and ΔDEC are similar triangles, hence the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= , that is
= ( cross- multiply )
6(2x + 4) = 9(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
12x + 24 = 9x + 36 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
3x + 24 = 36 ( subtract 24 from both sides )
3x = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 4
Hence ED = x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 units
Answer:
(96/5) mph, or 19.2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed = (total distance traveled) / (total time elapsed)
Here we need to calculate the two elapsed times (going and returning)
Going: t1 = d/(24 mph)
Returning: t2 = d/(16 mph)
Less time is required for the outward bound trip.
16d + 24d
Total time elapsed: t = t1 + t2 = d/24 + d/16 = ------------------- = (5/48)*d hr
16*24
Thus, the average speed is (total distance traveled) / (total elapsed time)
2d
which here is --------------------- = (96/5) mph, or 19.2 mph
(5/48)d
Distance, as far as i know
