Answer:Lilah's speed on the train is 60 mph and Mason's speed is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Lilah.

Lilah is moving from Portland to Seattle. It takes her 3 hours to go by train.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Lilah in moving from Portland to Seattle would be

3 × x = 3x

It takes him 2.4 hours to get to Seattle, driving at 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the train.

It means that Mason's speed is

x + 15

Distance covered by Mason would be

2.4(x + 15) = 2.4x + 36

Since the distance from Portland to Seattle is the same, then

3x = 2.4x + 36

3x - 2.4x = 36

0.6x = 36 x = 36/0.6 = 60 mph

Mason's speed would be 60 + 15 = 75 mph

The formula for a regular polygon, which this one is, is A = 1/2 ap where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter.  20.8 * 7 = 145.6 which is the perimeter, so now just multiply by 21.6 and .5.  145.6 * 21.6 * .5 = 1572.48, or B above.

Find the length of x exactly. Brainly!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell by looking at this triangle that this is a <u>45 45 90 triangle.</u>

In this situation, the hypotenuse is x\sqrt{2} and the legs are both x.So if we look at the hypotenuse, we can tell that x, or the leg of the triangle, is 7.

45 45 90 triangles: This is a special triangle in which the angles of the triangle are 45 45 and 90 degrees. This means that the hypotenuse will be x\sqrt{2} and the legs of the triangle will be x. You can usually use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the missing sides.
