(PLEASE HELP ) A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours. Use the formula d = rt, where d represents distance, r represents rate,

and t represents time, to answer the following questions. Show
your work.

Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for rate.

Part B: Find the falcon's rate in meters per hour.

Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour.

Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometers, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why?

Answer:

r = d/t

r = 200, 000 meters/hour

r = 200, kilometers/hour

km/ hour makes more sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

) A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours.

thus distance = 800, 000 meters

1 km = 1000 meters

thus distance in km=  800, 000 meters/1000 = 800 km

t = h hours

Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for rate.

d = rt

dividing both sides by t

d/t = rt/r = r

thus. r = d/t

Part B: Find the falcon's rate in meters per hour.

d = 800, 000 meters

t = 4 hours

r = 800, 000 meters/ 4 hours = 200, 000 meters/hour

thus, rate =  200, 000 meters/hour

Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour.

we know d in km = 800 km as shown above

thus

rate = 800 km/4 hours = 200 km/hour

Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometres, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why

we know that standard unit of speed is

km/hour and m/sec

we know that that every unit is divided into from to large so that if the value is large or small we can use the appropriate unit and thus it is simpler to look the data and analyze it.

since here distance is very large , hence it is better to use km /hour

Which formula gives the area of a parallelogram? (3)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

A = bh (the last one)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. The formula is: A = B * H where B is the base, H is the height, and * means multiply. The base and height of a parallelogram must be perpendicular.

K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
Sergeu [11.5K]
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25

What do you do when you are trying to square something?
MissTica

Answer:

When we are trying to square a number say x, to x²,then we multiply the number x with number of powers

here since it is x² we multiply x × x

if it is x³,then x × x × x

Point C is the center of the circle. The measure of angle ACB is 3x + 120. Arc AB measures 65x – 4. Find the measure of arc AB.
katovenus [111]
In a circle The measurement of a CENTRAL ANGLE (vertex C) is equal to the measurement of the arc intercepted:

65x-4 = 3x+120 ===> 62x=124 & x= 2, hence the arc = 2
