Answer:

Distance between NJH and Jack's home  = 7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Finn's home  = (14-7.10) = 6.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jack lives east of NJH and Finn lives west of NJH.

Distance between Jack and Finn's home = 14 miles

Average speed of Jack = 7 mph

Average speed of Finn = 9 mph

Let the distance between Jack's house and NJH is '(x)' miles.

So the distance between Finn's house and NJH is '(14-x)' miles.

According to the question:

Time taken by both Finn and Jack are equal to reach home.

Considering t_1 is the time taken by Jack and t_2 is the time taken by Finn to reach home.

So,

⇒ t_1=t_2

We have to find the time taken.

⇒ Time taken by Jack.            ⇒ Time taken by Finn.

⇒ t_1=\frac{distance}{speed}                          ⇒ t_2=\frac{distance}{speed}

⇒ t_1=\frac{x}{7} mph                           ⇒ t_2=(\frac{14-x}{9} + \frac{15\ min}{60\ min}) mph   <em> ...15 min extra </em>

  Equating both t_1 and t_2 :

⇒ t_1=t_2

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{14-x}{9} +\frac{1}{4}

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{56-4x+9}{36}

⇒ \frac{x}{7} =\frac{65-4x}{36}

⇒ Cross multiplying.

⇒ x(36)=7(65-4x)

⇒ 36x=455-28x

⇒ 36x+28x=455

⇒ 64x=455

⇒ x=\frac{455}{64}

⇒ x=7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Jack's home = (x) = 7.10 miles

Distance between NJH and Finn's home = (14-x) = (14-7.10) = 6.9 miles

Help on number 3 only use Pythagorean thym I give brainliest
enot [183]

Answer: 10.8

Step-by-step explanation: the pythagorean theorem is A sqaured or A^2 + B^2 or B squared equals C^2 or C squared so 10 squared as is the first number is 100 and 4 squared as is the second number is 16 add the two to get 116 but since your answer is squared you need to take the square root which means your answer is 10.7703296143 but since your rounding to the tenths place your answer is 10.8

1. Jemima wants to make chocolate chip walnut brownles. Chocolate chips come in a 12oz bag that costs $3. Walnuts
fomenos

Answer:

4 bags of chocolate chips and 1 bag of walnuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many ounces are in 3 pounds:

16 oz = 1 lb

16 oz × 3 = 3 lbs

48 oz = 3 lbs

Variable x = number of chocolate chips

Variable y = number of walnuts

4x + 1y = 15

Keep in mind it must equal up to 48 oz and be $15 or under.

4 bags × 12 oz = 48 oz

1 bag × 4 oz = 4 oz

48 oz + 4 oz = 52 oz > 48 oz

4 bags × $3 = $12

1 bag × $2 = $2

$12 + $2 = $14 < $15

Both requirements have been met.

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x =\sqrt 5

y = \sqrt{5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}} --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)

In radical form, we have:

y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}

y = \sqrt{10/2}

y = \sqrt{5

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2

x^2 + y^2 =10

Substitute for y

x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10

x^2 + 5 =10

Collect like terms

x^2  =10-5

x^2=   5

Solve for x

x =\sqrt 5

5 Find 6 in Surface Area​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

8 x 6 = 48

48 divided by 2 = 24

24 x 2 = 48

10 x 12 = 120

120 x 2 = 240

8 x 12 = 96

Add all given areas:

48 + 96 + 240 = 384 in2 is your answer.
