The question is relating Rhonda's distance travelled and time taken
If 45 miles = 3 hours
Then, 1 mile = 3/45 hours
Therefore, it will take Rhonda 1/15 hours to travel 1 mile.
Answer:
XZ = 26.7
ZY = 11.7
Area = 140.4 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠Z = 180-(26+90) = 64°
to get XZ you can use the law of sines:
sin 90°/XZ = sin 64°/24
1/XZ = sin(64°)
cross-multiply to get:
XZ·sin(64°) = 24
XZ = 24/sin(64°)
XZ = 26.7
to get ZY you can use the law of sines again:
sin 64°/24 = sin 26°/ZY
cross-multiply to get:
ZY·sin(64°) = 24·sin(26°)
ZY = 24·sin(26°) ÷ sin(64°)
ZY = 11.7
Area = 1/2(11.7)(24)
= 12(11.7)
= 140.4 sq inches
Slope of a line can be determined using this formula
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
From the question, we know that
(x₁,y₁) = (2,-3)
(x₂,y₂) = (2,9)
plug the numbers into the formula
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
m = (9 - (-3)) / (2 - 2)
m = (9 + 3) / (2 - 2)
m = 12/0
m = undefined
The pairs must form a vertical line
Let the walker’s speed be W, then the biker’s is W+1.5W=2.5W. Difference in speed is 1.5W. Distance=speed times time, so 12.5=1.5W×1.5=2.25W, and W=12.5/2.25=1250/225=50/9=5.56 mph. The biker’s speed is 2.5W=125/9=13.89 mph to 2 Dec places.
(Note: “1.5 times faster than a walker’s speed” could not reasonably mean the biker’s speed=1.5W because this would give W=16.67 mph, which is very fast for a runner, let alone a walker (!), and a biker’s speed of 25mph.)
