Joshua used two wood beams, PC and QA, to support the roof of a model house. The beams intersect each other to form two similar

triangles QRP and ARC as shown in the figure below. The length of segment PR is 3.4 inches and the length of segment CR is 5.1 inches. The distance between A and C is 4.2 inches
What is the distance between the endpoints of the beams P and Q?
Answer choices
2.02 inches
2.5 inches
2.8 inches

Answer: 2.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The beams intersect each other to form two similar triangles ΔQRP and ΔARC .

PR = 3.4 inches

CR = 5.1 inches.

AC = 4.2 inches

To find : PQ

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

i.e. for similar triangles ΔQRP and ΔARC , we have

\Rightarrow \dfrac{PQ}{AC}=\dfrac{PR}{CR}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{PQ}{4.2}=\dfrac{3.4}{5.1}\\\\\Rightarrow\ PQ=4.2\times\dfrac{3.4}{5.1}=2.8\text{ inches}

Hence, the distance between the endpoints of the beams P and Q = 2.8 inches

Question 2 Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels at 95
lianna [129]

Answer:

it will take 1.4 hours for the two trains to be 294 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the time taken for each train

The westbound train travels at 95 miles per hour.

Speed of westbound train = 95

time = t

Distance = speed * time = 95 t

The eastbound train travels at 115 miles per hour

Speed of eastbound train = 115

time = t

Distance = speed * time = 115 t

both trains are 294 miles apart means the distance between both trains are 294 miles

So we add the distance of both trains and set it equal to 294

95t + 115t = 294

210 t =294

t = 1.4

So, it will take 1.4 hours for the two trains to be 294 miles apart
