A right triangle. If AC = 7 and BC = 8, find AB. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

1 answer:

8 0

We don't know whether those two sides are both legs
of the right triangle, or if BC is the hypotenuse.

If AC and BC are both legs, then

   AB = √ (AC² + BC²)
   = √ (7² + 8²)
   = √ (49 + 64) = √ 113 .

If BC is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, then

   AB = √ (BC² - AC²)
   = √ (8² - 7²)
   = √ (64 - 49) = √ 15 .

Two trains start from Fort Worth traveling at the same speed. The trip for Train W takes 20 hours, while the trip for Train Z ta

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The equation that best models this situation is :

b. $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = 2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for Train W to complete a trip = 20 hours

Time taken for Train Z to complete a trip = 25 hours

The city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to.

both trains have same speeds and start from same location.

To find the distance in total each train travels.

Solution:

<em>Let length of the trip of Train W be </em>= $x$ miles

Speed of Train W can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}\ miles/h$

<em>So, the length of the trip of Train Z will be</em> = $(x+400)$ miles

Speed of Train Z can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x+400}{25}\ miles/h$

Since the speeds are same, so the equation to find $x$ can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Solving for $x$

Multiplying both sides by 100 to remove fractions.

⇒ $100\times \frac{x}{20}=100\times \frac{x+400}{25}$

⇒ $5x=4(x+400)$

Using distribution.

⇒ $5x=4x+1600$

Subtracting both sides by $4x$

⇒ $5x-4x=4x-4x+1600$

⇒ $x=1600$

Thus, Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = $1600+400$ = 2,000 miles
