Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let after t hours they meet after the second runner starts.

15 minutes=1/4 hour.

6(t+1/4)=8t

6t+6/4=8t

8t-6t=6/4

2t=3/2

t=3/2* 1/2=3/4 hours=45 minutes

Answer: it will take 1 hour before the second runner reaches the first runner

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time it the first runner to cover a certain distance.

Speed of the first runner is 6 miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance / speed

Distance covered by the first runner

in t hours at 6 miles per hour is 6t

Fifteen minutes later a second runner begins at the same point, running at a rate of 8 mi/hr and following the same course. This means that for the to meet, the second runner will cover the same distance covered by the first runner at a time of t - 15 minutes = (t - 1/4) hours. Therefore

Distance covered at 8 miles per hour at (t - 1/4) hours

would be 8(t - 1/4) = 8t - 2

Since they would cover the same distance, then

6t = 8t - 2

8t - 6t = 2

2t = 2

t = 2/2 = 1

There is a quadrilateral MNPQ in which side MN is congruent to side PQ and side NP is parallel to side MQ. The diagonal MP and t
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: QN = 12

Step-by-step explanation: This quadrilateral is a paralelogram because its 2 opposite sides (NP and MQ) are parallel and the other 2 (MN and PQ) are congruent.

In paralelogram, diagonals bisect each other, which means QR = RN.

If QR = RN:

QR = 6

Then,

QN = QR + RN

QN = 6 + 6

QN = 12

<u>The diagonal QN of quadrilateral MNPQ is </u><u>QN = 12</u><u>.</u>

AB is a straight line workout the size of angle X
Hoochie [10]

The x value will be 109°. The straight line formed a 180° angle. Solving the equation yields the angle.

<h3>What are supplementary angles?</h3>

Supplementary angles are two angels whose sum is 180°. When a straight line intersects a line, two angles form on each of the sides of the considered straight line.

Those two-two angles are supplementary angles in two pairs. That is, if two supplementary angles are adjacent to each other, their exterior sides form a straight line.

The straight line formed a 180° angle. The resulting equation is as follows:

⇒x+42°+29°=180°

⇒x=109°

Hence, the value of the x will be 109°

The complete question is:

AB is a straight line.

Work out the size of angle x.
