From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this. One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther. The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.
B. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3
Answer: <RPS = 161
Step-by-step explanation:
P is the common vertex in all of these angles. From this we know that these have to be adjacent angles (<QPR and <QPS) that equal the whole angle (<RPS)
<QPR+<QPS= <RPS
71+90= 161
(<QPS is a right angle. Right angles are equal to 90 degrees.)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
1 is 100% so increasing it by 12% means adding 0.12 to it
Answer: 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, we just need to divide 256 by each of the numbers.
First let’s divide 256 by 8
256/8=32
Then divide 32 by 4
32/4 = 8.
Therefore your answer is 8 cm.
