Answer:

speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.

Also let car A travels x miles.

and car B travels y miles.

Car A  reaches its destination in 17 minutes.

this means that speed of car A is given by:  \dfrac{x}{17} miles/minutes  ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).

Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.

This means that the speed of car B is given by: \dfrac{y}{32} miles/minutes

as speed of both cars are equal this means:

\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{y}{32}------(1)

Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.

this means y-x=12

y=12+x------(2)

on using equation (1) and (2) we have:

\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{12+x}{32}\\  \\32x=17(12+x)\\\\32x=17\times12+17x\\\\32x-17x=17\times12\\\\15x=122\times17\\\\x=13.6

Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes  ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)

Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.

WXYZ is a parallelogram find the angle measures
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

W and Y = 91. X and Z = 89

Step-by-step explanation:

Those two angles will add to 180.

5a - 21 + 3a + 25 = 8a + 4

8a + 4 = 180

8a = 176

176 / 8 = 22 = a

Plug in a for an angle.

3(22) + 25 = 91

180 - 91 = 89

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape ABCDEF is an irregular polygon.  

The sum of the interior angles of any regular or irregular polygon = (n - 2) x 180 (where n is the number of sides of the polygon).  

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles of shape ABCDEF = (6 - 2) x 180 = 720°

So to find the value of x, we need to add together all the interior angles and equal it to 720, then solve for x.

Before we do that, we need to determine angle F.

From inspection, we can see that angle F and 52° are a linear pair.  We know that a linear pair of angles add up to 180°, so F + 52 = 180  ⇒  F = 180 - 52 = 128°

Therefore:

                                           A + B + C + D + E + F = 720

(10x - 5) + 108 + (8x - 3) + (14x - 25) + 133 + 128 = 720

Collect like terms:

10x + 8x + 14x - 5 + 108 - 3 - 25 + 133 + 128 = 720

Combine like terms:

32x + 336 = 720

Subtract 336 from both sides:

32x = 384

Divide both sides by 32:

x = 12
