What is the measure of AC?
1 answer:
Answer:
5 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for AC
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
AC² = AB² + BC² ← substitute values
AC² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )
AC = = 5

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
one car is going at 55kph, at say hmmm "t" time
the second car zooms by at 75kph, an hour later, thus " t + 1 "
notice, overtaking the 1st car, simply means, the second car comes from behind approaches the first car from behind and "gets there", at that very second, both cars have travelled a distance, say "d"
if the first car travelled "d" kilometers
for the second car to "get there" has to had travelled "d" distance as well
solve for "t"
