48 seconds, Consider what happens between one time that Ben and Sally meet and the next. During this period Ben runs 30 (seconds)/80 (seconds/lap) = 3/8 of a lap. So Sally runs 5/8 lap in the same time. Her speed is therefore 5/8 (laps)/ 30(seconds) which amounts to 1 (lap)/ 48 (seconds).

If the original price is $82 and the sale price is $65.60, what is the percent of discount?
Zielflug [23.3K]

-- The original price was $82.

-- The dealer knocked ($82 - $65.60) = $16.40 off of the price because
he loves his customers so much and he wanted to make their lives easier.

-- The amount he knocked off is  ( 16.40 / 82 ) = 0.2  =  <em>20%</em> of the original price.

==========================================

Check:

If he reduced the original price 20%, then 80% of it must have been left.

80% of the original price =  0.8 x $82  =  $65.60    It checks.              <em>yay!

Maggie constructs a triangle with sides lengths 7 centimeters long and 10 centimeters long.
MakcuM [25]

7 centimeters is a possible length for the third side ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the triangle Inequality Theorem

  • The sum of the lengths of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side
  • To prove that by easy way add the smallest two sides, if their sum greater than the third side,then the sides can form a triangle

Assume that the length of the third side is x cm

∵ The length of two sides are 7 cm and 10 cm

∵ The length of the third side is x cm

- Put the sum of x and 7 greater than 10 ( x and 7 are the smallest sides)

∴ x + 7 > 10

- Subtract 7 from both sides

∴ x > 3

- Put the sum of 7 and 10 greater than x (7 and 10 are the smallest sides)

∵ 7 + 10 > x

∴ 17 > x

∴ x < 17

- By using one inequality for x (combined the two inequalities in one)

∴ 3 < x < 17

That means the length of the third side is any number between 3 and 17

There is only one answer between 3 and 17

∵ 7 is between 3 and 17

∴ The length of the third side could be 7 cm

7 centimeters is a possible length for the third side

I'm stuck on a.<br>please help me!!!!​

You have to estimate the slope of the tangent line to the graph at <em>t</em> = 10 s. To do that, you can use points on the graph very close to <em>t</em> = 10 s, essentially applying the mean value theorem.

The MVT says that for some time <em>t</em> between two fixed instances <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>, one can guarantee that the slope of the secant line through (<em>a</em>, <em>v(a)</em> ) and (<em>b</em>, <em>v(b)</em> ) is equal to the slope of the tangent line through <em>t</em>. In this case, this would be saying that the <em>instantaneous</em> acceleration at <em>t</em> = 10 s is approximately equal to the <em>average</em> acceleration over some interval surrounding <em>t</em> = 10 s. The smaller the interval, the better the approximation.

For instance, the plot suggests that the velocity at <em>t</em> = 9 s is nearly 45 m/s, while the velocity at <em>t</em> = 11 s is nearly 47 m/s. Then the average acceleration over this interval is

(47 m/s - 45 m/s) / (11 s - 9 s) = (2 m/s) / (2 s) = 1 m/s²
