It will take 3 hours 6 minutes 40 seconds for the cars to be 420 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The cars are traveling in the opposite direction at different speeds. One is going north at a speed of 75 mph while the other is going 60 mph. So for every hour, the cars are traveling they increase the distance between in between themselves by 75 miles + 60 miles = 135 miles.

Step 2; Assume that in x hours the distance between them is 420 miles. To calculate x we divide the distance to be traveled by the distance being traveled every hour.

x = distance to be covered / distance being traveled every hour

= 420 / 135 = 3.11 hours

We multiply the 0.11 hours with 60 to convert it into minutes. 0.11 × 60 = 6.66 minutes and if we do the same for seconds, 0.66 minutes × 60 = 40 seconds.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

c) 120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the rhombus has 4 sides, A, B, C, and D.

To find the length of each side, let's first find the length AE.

From the diagram, AE is half of AC and AC = 30 ft.

Therefore,

AE = ½ * 30

AE = 15 ft

Let's find the length AD, since we are looking for the distance around the perimeter.

AD = \frac{15}{sin30} = \frac{15}{0.5} = 30 ft

We are told the rhombus is formed by four identical triangles.

Therefore the distance around the perimeter would be: AD+AD+AD+AD=

30 ft + 30 ft + 30 ft + 30 ft

= 120 ft

The distance around the perimeter of the garden is 120 ft
