Answer: the rate of the car is 50mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average speed of the bus.

Let y represent the distance travelled by the bus.

The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the bus. This means that the average speed of the car would be

2x - 30

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, In 2 hours time,

2 = y/x

2x = y

In two hours the car is 20 miles ahead of the bus. Therefore

2 = (y + 20)/(2x - 30)

2(2x - 30) = y + 20

4x - 60 = y + 20 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

4x - 60 = 2x + 20

4x - 2x = 20 + 60

2x = 80

x = 80/2 = 40

The speed of the car would be

2x - 30 = 2 × 40 - 30

= 80 - 30 = 50 mph

1a) False. A square is never a trapezoid. A trapezoid has only one pair of parallel sides while the other set of opposite sides are not parallel. Contrast this with a square which has 2 pairs of parallel opposite sides.

1b) False. A rhombus is only a rectangle when the figure is also a square. A square is essentially a rhombus and a rectangle at the same time. If you had a Venn Diagram, then the circle region "rectangle" and the circle region "rhombus" overlap to form the region for "square". If the statement said "sometimes" instead of "always", then the statement would be true.

1c) False. Any rhombus is a parallelogram. This can be proven by dividing up the rhombus into triangles, and then proving the triangles to be congruent (using SSS), then you use CPCTC to show that the alternate interior angles are congruent. Finally, this would lead to the pairs of opposite sides being parallel through the converse of the alternate interior angle theorem. Changing the "never" to "always" will make the original statement to be true. Keep in mind that not all parallelograms are a rhombus.
