Let the slower cars speed equal X.

The faster cars speed would be X+5 ( 5 mph faster).


They traveled for 3 hours

Multiply the time of travel by speed to equal the number of miles traveled.

So you have:

3X + 3(X+5) = 267 miles

Simplify the left side:

3X + 3X+15 = 267

Combine like terms:

6x + 15 = 267

Subtract 15 from each side"

6x = 252

Divide each side by 6:

x = 252 / 6

X = 42


The slower car was traveling at 42 mph and the faster car was traveling at 47 mph.

△ABC is a right triangle. m∠A = 32° m∠B=90°; AC = 9 and AB=5. Choose the expression used to find BC?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the right angle triangle is shown in the attached photo.

From the given right angle triangle,

AC represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠32 as the reference angle,

BC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

AB represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine BC, we would apply

the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ= opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore, the expression used to find BC is

Sin 32 = BC/9

BC = 9Sin32
