When visiting his parents, Tyler drives at an average speed of 42 km/h through urban areas and at an average speed of 105 km/h o

n the motorway. His journey usually takes him 2.5 hours. One day when there is fog, he sets off 1 hour early and only manages to drive at an average speed of 28 km/h in the urban areas and 60 km/h on the motorway. He arrives 30 minutes late. What was the total distance that Tyler travelled?

Answer:

  168 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance Tyler drives at the slower speed, and let y represent the distance at the higher speed. Using time = distance/speed, we can write equations for the total travel time:

  x/42 +y/105 = 2.5

  x/28 +y/60 = 4.0 . . . . . 1.5 hours more than the usual 2.5 hours

Multiplying the first equation by 210, we have ...

  5x +2y = 525

Multiplying the second equation by 420, we get ...

  15x +7y = 1680

Subtracting 3 times the first of these equations from the second, we have ...

  (15x +7y) -3(5x +2y) = (1680) -3(525)

  y = 105

Putting this into the very first equation, we get ...

  x/42 + 105/105 = 2.5

  x/42 = 1.5 . . . . . . subtract 1

  x = 63 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 42.

The total distance to Tyler's parents' house is ...

  63 km + 105 km = 168 km

1. Write a rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle. Write your rule as (x,y)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Transforming a shape involves changing the size and/or the location of the shape.

  • The rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle is (x,y) \to (x,-y)
  • The rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is similar is (x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y).
  • The rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is not similar or congruent is (x,y) \to (0.5x,2y).

<h3>Rigid transformation</h3>

When a shape is transformed by a rigid transformation, then the image of the shape will be congruent to the original shape.

An example of a rigid transformation is a reflection over the x-axis; and the rule is:

(x,y) \to (x,-y)

So, a rule that will take the triangle to a congruent triangle is (x,y) \to (x,-y)

<h3>Nonrigid transformation</h3>

When a shape is transformed by a nonrigid transformation, then the image of the shape will not be congruent to the original shape, however the original shape and the transformed shape would be similar

An example of a nonrigid transformation is a dilation by a scale factor od 0.5; and the rule is:

(x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)

So, a rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is similar is (x,y) \to (0.5x,0.5y)

However, if the x and y coordinates of the shape are dilated by different scale factors, then the resulting shape would neither be similar nor be congruent to the original shape.

A rule that will take the triangle to a figure that is not similar or congruent is (x,y) \to (0.5x,2y).
