ANSWER

It took 1 hour 30 minutes

EXPLANATION

It was given that Elena and Jada are 12 miles apart.

This means that the distance between them is

d = 12 \: miles

We use the formula,

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

If Elena covers d miles in
t_1 \: hours

Then Jada will cover,
( 12-d) \: miles

in
t_2 \: hours

We were told that Elena runs at a constant speed of 5 miles per hour.

This implies that,
5 = \frac{d}{t_1}

t_1= \frac{d}{5} ...eqn1

and Jadda walks a constant speed of 3 miles per hour.

This implies that,

3 = \frac{12-d}{t_2}

This implies that,

t_2 = \frac{12-d}{3} ...eqn2

When Elena and Jada meets,then

t_2 = t_1

We equate the two equations and solve. This implies that,

\frac{d}{5} = \frac{12-d}{3}

We cross multiply to get,

3d = 5(12-d)

3d = 60-5d

This implies that,

8d= 60

d = 7.5

The time they met was after

\frac{7.5}{5} = 1.5\: hours

If you really want to figure this out you make an equation to solve for the time
let's let
x = time from Elena to Jada and
x = time from Jada to Elena
12 then the equation
12 = 5x +3x
would help figuring out their distance say for one of them
12 = x(5+3)
12/8 = x
1.5 = x
1. 5 hours they will meet up

I) Construct a triangle PQR such that |PQ|=8cm,{RPQ=90°{PQR=30°.Measure |RQ|​
scoray [572]

Answer:

6.93 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a right triangle (90°), so you do as follow:

If I understand correctly, you are looking for the hypotenuse so

cos(30) = \frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{8 cm}{QR}

That is equal to QR = cos(30)*8 cm = 6.928 cm

The equation that can be used to determine the measure of ∠A is tanA = 9.4/6.7. The correct option is A. tanA=9.4/6.7

<h3>Trigonometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine which of the given equations can be used to determine the measure of ∠A

In the diagram,

If ∠A is the included angle

Then,

Using<em> SOH CAH TOA</em>

Opposite = 9.4

Adjacent = 6.7

Thus,

tanA = 9.4/6.7

Hence, the equation that can be used to determine the measure of ∠A is tanA = 9.4/6.7. The correct option is A. tanA=9.4/6.7

The Pretty Pizza Company wants to open a new pizza place on either the north side of town or the south side of town. They want t
Sidana [21]

Using proportions, it is found that the Pretty Pizza Company should open a new pizza place at any of the North or the South blocks.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

The proportion of <u>pizza places per person</u> in each block of the town is given as follows:

  • North: 32/(221 x 15) = 0.0096 < 1.
  • South: 28/(22 x 150) = 0.0084 < 1.

Both proportions are less than 0.01, hence the Pretty Pizza Company should open a new pizza place at any of the North or the South blocks.
