Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 mph is a red herring. If there is a rate of 10 mph, and the trip took 1.5 hours, the 1 hour=10 miles, and the .5=5 miles, add em up and its 15 miles

Answer: the school is 2.5 miles from Sue's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the school from Sue's home.

Time = distance/speed

Sue walked from her home to her school at a constant rate of 2 miles per hour. It means that the time it took her to walk to the school is

x/2

She picked up her bicycle and rode back at a constant rate of 10 miles per hour. The distance covered is the same and the time spent in riding back home is

x/10

If the round trip took 1.5 hours, it means that

x/2 + x/10 = 1.5

Multiplying through by 10, it becomes

5x + x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15/6

x = 2.5 miles

Two sides of a triangle have the following measures. Find the range for the measure of the third side.
yulyashka [42]

The possible values for the third side's measurement are3 < x < 17. Any two sides of a triangle's lengths added together must be longer than the third side.

<h3>How do you determine a triangle's perimeter?</h3>
  • The third side of a triangle must always have a length that is between (but not exactly) the sum and the difference of the other two sides.
  • Any two sides of a triangle's lengths added together must be longer than the third side.
  • Each side of a triangle with sides a, b, and c must fall within the difference and total of the other two.
  • For instance, side a must be between b-c and b+c or b-cab+c.  
  • The third side must fall between 10 -7 = 3 and 10 + 7 = 17.

The perimeter of a triangle is 27 feet. One side is 3 feet longer than the shortest side, and the longest side is twice as long
dangina [55]

Answer:

6, 9, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the shortest side. Using the information you're given, you can create an equation. 27= s + s+3 + 2s. Now just solve the equation. Subtract 3 from both sides. 24=4s. Divide by 4 on both sides. 6=s. So the shortest side is 6 feet long, so we add 3 to that for the one that is neither the shortest or the longest. That side is 9 feet long. We double s to get 12, which is the longest side.
