Josh's speed is 1 lap/7 min

Gabe's speed is 1 lap/9 min

Josh has covered 6/7 of a lap

Gabe has covered 2/9 of a lap

So j completed 6/7 of a lap
gabe has completed 2/9 lap
so
1 j lap=7 mins s o
7j
j=num of laps
1 g lap=9 mins so
9g
g=num of laps
then 6+j
and g+2

so
when will the times be equal
7j+6=9g+2
subtract 2 from both sides
7j+4=9g
divide both sides by 9
7/9j+4/9=g
so to get a whole number of laps, we must subsitute a number when it is multiplied by 7 then add 4, we get a multiplue of 9
so if j=2
7/9(2)+4/9=g=14/9+4/9=g=18/9=g=2
so josh and gabe must run 2 lap each because
6+(2 times 7)=2+(9 times 2)
6+14=2+18
20=20
true so

the answer is 2 laps

a garden is made up of two squares and a quarter circle. what are the perimeter and area of the garden

FrozenT [24]

The complete question in the attached figure

Part A) find the perimeter
[perimeter of the garden]=[perimeter square 1]+[perimeter a quarter circle]+[perimeter square 2]

[perimeter square 1]=5+5+5-----> 15 ft
[perimeter square 2]=5+5+5-----> 15 ft
[perimeter a quarter circle]=(2*pi*r)/4------> 2*pi*5/4-----> 7.85 ft

[perimeter of the garden]=[15]+[7.85]+[15]-------> 37.85 ft

the answer Part A) is
the perimeter of the garden is 37.85 ft

Part B) Find the area of the garden

[Area of the garden]=[Area square 1]+[Area a quarter circle]+[Area square 2]

[Area square 1]=5*5-----> 25 ft²
[Area square 2]=5*5-----> 25 ft²
[Area a quarter circle]=(pi*r²)/4------> pi*5²/4-----> 19.625 ft²

[Area of the garden]=[25]+[19.625]+[25]-------> 69.625 ft²

the answer Part B) is
the Area of the garden is 69.625 ft²

Given g(x)=Squareroot x-4 and h(x)=2x-8, what is g(h(10))

yan [13]

Answer:

$g(h(10)) = 2\sqrt 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$g(x) = \sqrt {x - 4$

$h(x) = 2x - 8$

Required

$g(h(10))$

First, calculate $g(h(x))$

We have:

$g(x) = \sqrt {x - 4$

This gives:

$g(h(x)) = \sqrt {h(x) - 4$

Substitute $h(x) = 2x - 8$

$g(h(x)) = \sqrt {2x - 8 - 4$

$g(h(x)) = \sqrt {2x - 12$

Substitute $x = 10$

$g(h(10)) = \sqrt {2*10 - 12$

$g(h(10)) = \sqrt {20 - 12$

$g(h(10)) = \sqrt {8\\$

Split

$g(h(10)) = \sqrt {4} * \sqrt 2$

This gives

$g(h(10)) = 2\sqrt 2$
