Answer:

d = 576

Step-by-step explanation

Think of the two different speeds as belonging to 2 different cars going to the same place, taking the same route and going to the same place.

Let the time traveled by the fast car = t

Let the time traveled by the slower car = t+4

Let the rate of travel of the slow car = 36 mph

Let the rate of travel of the fast car = 48 mph

===========

d = 36*(t + 4)

d = 48 * t

Since the distance is the same, they can be equated.

48t = 36(t + 4)           Remove the brackets.

48t = 36t + 144          Subtract 36t from both sides.

48t - 36t = 144           Combine

12t = 144                     Divide by 12

t = 144/12

t = 12

Therefore the faster car takes 12 hours to get where it is going.

d = 48 * t

d = 48 * 12

d = 576

Answer:

61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given ∆MNO,

MO = 18,

MN = 6

m<O = 17°

==>Required:

Measure of <N

==>SOLUTION:

Use the sine formula for finding measure of angles which is given as: Sine A/a = Sine B/b = Sine C/c

Where,

Sine A = 17°

a = 6

Sine B = N

b = 18

Thus,

sin(17)/6 = sin(N)/18

Cross multiply

sin(17)*18 = sin(N)*6

0.2924*18 = 6*sin(N)

5.2632 = 6*sin(N)

Divide both sides by 6

5.2632/6 = sin(N)

0.8772 = sin(N)

sin(N) = 0.8772

N = sin^-1(0.8772)

N ≈ 61° (approximated)
