No they are not in the corresponding angles theorem it states that if and only if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent. And if two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
This means a has a value of 24.
Answer:
In 3 hours, they will be 18 miles apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Speed of Mr. Irvine = 77mi/h
Speed of Mr. Babyak = 71mi/h
Distance to be apart = 18 miles
Let,
t be the time.
We will subtract the speeds as both the cars are driving in the same direction.
Distance = Speed * Time
18 = (77-71)t
18 = 6t
6t = 18
Dividing both sides by 6

Hence,
In 3 hours, they will be 18 miles apart.
