Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago

We have three similar triangles, let's see if we can get this right, right vertex first, then other vertex from small side:

EDF ~ GDE ~ GEF

As ratios that means

ED:DF:EF = GD:DE:GE = GE:EF:GF

x:20:y = 5:x:GE = GE:y:15

Since we're after y we choose

20/y = y/15

20(15) = y²

y² = 300

y = 10√3

y ≈ 17.32

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
meriva
The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).
The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:
v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:
d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)
t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:
v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s

Thepotemich [5.8K]
16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.
