Answer: 1 hour 15min

Step-by-step explanation:

When Paul passes the gas station Mary si already 12.5 miles away

X=v t = 50mph 0.25h = 12.5 miles. (15min equals a quarter hour)

From that moment to the meeting point we’ll have only one t (time) and one x (final point) for both cars

For Mary we have

X= Xo + v t= 12.5 miles + 50mph t

For Paul we have

X=v t = 60mph t

As x si the same in both equations

60mph t = 12.5 miles + 50mph t

(60mph - 50mph) t = 12.5miles

10mph t = 12.5miles

t = 12.5miles/10mph

t = 1,25 h

Answer:

c. 45.34ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When leg one of the triangle is 15ft and leg two is 17 ft you would take   17^2 + 15^2 and then you find the square root of that (514) to get the hypotenuse of the triangle. After that you multiply by two to account for the 2/2 sqaure foot per each unit

What is the value of x?<br><br>A. 155°<br>B. 60°<br>C. 35<br>D. 25°​
Harman [31]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should see that the bottom right corner is an angle on the other side. So subtract 180 from 95 to get 85. Since all angles in a triangle add up to 180, You do 85 + 60 + x = 180. You simplify further to get 145 + x = 180.

Subtracting 145 from both sides leaves you with x = 35, which gives you C.

So C is the correct answer.
