Answer: 24miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation: Speed is the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Speed = Distance/tIme

Given parameters

Distance = 8miles

TIME = 20minutes

Convert minutes to hour

since 60minutes = 1hr

20 min = x

cross multiply

20 = 60x

x = 20/60

x = 1/3

Hence 20mins = 1/3 hr

Speed = 8miles/(1/3)hr

speed = 8 miles * 3/1 hr

speed = 24 miles/hr

Solve for x in the equation x^2+14x+17=-96
Goshia [24]
X²+14x+49+17=-96+49
(x+7)²=-64, x+7=±8i, x=-7±8i, so x=-7+8i or -7-8i.

The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side x to the nearest tenth.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

\sqrt{\frac{15}{2} } or 2.738

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s just look at the triangle on the top with the \sqrt{10} on the top and x on the bottom. (Basically the top half to the equilateral triangle)

There is a small square in the bottom right corner, which indicates that this triangle is a right triangle. This means that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

We know that \sqrt{10} is our hypotenuse, and therefore our c in our equation. Let’s say that x=a in our equation. Therefore we are left to find b. However, b is half the length of the side of the original equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle means that all three sides are the same length. Therefore our side would also be \sqrt{10} units long. However we know that b is half of that value, so b=\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{10}) or \frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}

Plugging these values into the equation:

x^2+ (\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2})^{2}=\sqrt{10} ^{2}

x^{2}=\sqrt{10} ^{2}-\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2} ^{2}

x^{2} =10-\frac{10}{4}

x^{2} =\frac{15}{2}

x=\sqrt{\frac{15}{2} }

This approximately equals 2.738
