Wouldn’t it be 46:2 and also 23:1?
I´d say "d" is the distance from the eye to the wall.
Now substracting 1.2-1 you´ll get the distance of the wall of the smallest triangle = 0.2 And you do 1.5-0.2= 0.3 that´s the distance of the wall of the other triangle. Then you solve everything with Pitagoras theorem. You have 2 rectangle triangles.
B+alfa=45°
tan^-1(0.2/d)=B
tan^-1(1.3/d)=alfa
THEN:
tan^-1(0.2/d)+tan^-1(1.3/d)=45°
Now you have 3 ecs and 3 variables.
alfa,B and "d"
Formula
====
d = r * t
Givens
======
d = 2 3/4
t = 1 hour 15 minutes
r = ????
Calculations
==========
You need to convert the 15 minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
x hour = 15 minutes
1/60 = x/15
x = 15/60
x = 0.25 hours
so the time = 1 hours + 0.25 hours
t = 1.25 hours
Now you need to do something with the distance.
3/4 mile = 0.75 of a mile
So the distance = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 miles
Now you are ready for the answer.
d = r * t you are looking for r
2.75 = r * 1.25
r = 2.75/1.25
r = 2.2 miles / hour
Note you could do this with fractions.
2 3/4 = 11/4
1 1/4 = 5/4
r = 11/4 // 5/4 =11/5 = 2 1/5 which is the same thing as 2.2. If your calculator can handle fractions (those kind of calculators cost about 10 dollars in Canada. It should be 8 in the US) that might be the way to do this problem.
Writing the word problem as an equation you get:
x - 18 ≥ -12
Now to solve for x:
Add 18 to both sides of the inequality:
x ≥ -12 + 18
Simplify:
x ≥ 6
