Answer:

a) on the way there, the speed = 50 m/hr

b) on the way back home, speed = 30 m/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

speed (s) = \frac{distance(d)}{time(t)} \\distance = speed\ \times\ time

on the way to Disney land:

distance = d

speed = s

time = t = 6 hours

d = s × t

d = s × 6

d = 6s - - - - - (1)

On the way back:

speed decreased by 20m/hr

This means that s₂ = (s - 20)m/hr

time = t₂ = 10 hours

∴ d = s₂ × t₂

d = (s - 20) × 10

d = 10s - 200  - - - - (2)

<em>Note that the distance is the same to and from disney land, therefore, equation (1) equals equation (2)</em>

∴ 6s = 10s - 200

<em>collecting like terms:</em>

10s - 6s = 200

4s = 200

∴ s = 200 ÷ 4

s = 50 m/hr

Therefore on the way there, the car was moving at a apeed of 50m/hr

speed on the way back home (s₂) = (s - 20) m/hr

∴ s₂ = 50 - 20

s₂ = 30 m/hr

Therefore on the way back home the speed was 30 m/hr

Two angles of a triangle measure 57 and 46. What is the measure of the largest exterior angle of the triangle?
irina [24]

Answer:

A. 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

57° + 46° =103°

This shows that the third angle in the triangle is 180°-103°=77°

Therefore the largest exterior angle is 180°-77°=103°

Solve using a proportion.
Advocard [28]

Answer:

t = 24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the trapezoids are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{t}{c} = \frac{u}{d}

Substitute in given values

\frac{t}{0.4} = \frac{15}{0.25} ( cross- multiply )

0.25t = 6 ( divide both sides by 0.25 )

t = 24

To find the circumference of this circle, you need to use the formula C=2(3.14)r
which means circumference=2 times pi times the radius so, you would multiply 2.8(the radius of your circle) times 2. Then you would multiply that times 3.14(pi rounded to the nearest hundredth). And there u go. U have ur answer.

C=2(2.8)(3.14)
C= 5.6(3.14)
C=17.584
C=17.58 feet
