1. You have that:

 - The<span> lengths of the bases are (6x-1) units and 3 units.
 - The midsegment has a length of (5x-3) units.

 2. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid, which is shown below:

 Midsegment=Base1+Base2/2

 As you can see, the midsegment is half the sum of the bases of the trapezoid.

 3. When you substitute the values, you obtain:

 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2

 4. Now, you can solve the problem by clearing the "x":
</span>
 (5x-3)=[(6x-1)+3]/2
 2(5x-3)=6x-1+3
 10x-6=6x+2
 10x-6x=2+6
 4x=8
 x=8/4
 x=2

By driving 8 mph faster than Bob, John can make a 230 mile trip in one half hour less. How fast does Bob drive on the trip? Roun
____ [38]

Answer: The speed of Bob is 56.8 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Bob be 'x'.

Let the speed of John be 'x-8'.

Distance covered = 230 miles

time = 1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ hr

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{230}{x}-\dfrac{230}{x+8}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\230\dfrac{x+8-x}{x(x+8)}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{230\times 8}{x^2+8x}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1840}{x^2+8x}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\1840\times 2=3x^2+24x\\\\3680=3x^2+24x\\\\3x^2+24x-3680=0\\\\x\approx 56.8\ km/hr

Hence, the speed of Bob is 56.8 km/hr.

This is because astronauts can't sprinkle salt and pepper on their food in space. The salt and pepper would simply float away. There is a danger they could clog air vents, contaminate equipment or get stuck in an astronaut's eyes, mouth or nose. Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What is the rule of the reflection?
iogann1982 [59]

The rule of reflection in the image shown is: (x, -y).

<h3>What is Reflection?</h3>

Reflection is a transformation which creates a new image by flipping over a line of reflection. The new image is congruent to the original image after reflection. The rule of reflection over an x-axis is given as, (x, -y).

In the image given we can see that rotating triangle LMN over the x-axis gave us:

M(-5, 4) → M'(-5, -4)

L(-4, 2) → L'(-4, -2)

N(-2, 3) → N'(-2, -3)

Therefore, the rule of reflection is: (x, -y).
