Answer:
28 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w stand for the number of miles Derrick runs each week. Then after 4 weeks of training, he wants the total mileage to be 100 miles.
16 + 3w = 100
3w = 84 . . . . . . . subtract 16
w = 28 . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Derrick will run 28 miles each week to achieve his training goal.
I think you would use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this, as a square cut across diagonally creates two isocele triangles. Since the longest side is 20 m, this value would be imputed into c^2.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + a^2 = 20^2
2a^2 = 400
2a^2/2 = 400/2
a^2 = 200
a = 14.14
Thus, each sides of the playground are 14.14 meters long.
Answer:
462 sq in
Step-by-step explanation:
3((14 2/3)(10.5))
3(154)
462
If the line that goes through (9, 6) is perpendicular to y = -1/3x + 7, then their slopes will be opposite reciprocals. The slope of the line given is -1/3. The opposite reciprocal of -1/3 is +3. If we have our new line passing through point with x coordinate 9 and y coordinate 6, we will use that x and y and the slope of 3 to solve the slope-intercept equation for b. Like this: 9 = 3(6) + b. 9 = 18 + b and b = -9. That means that the new equation, the one that is perpendicular to the given line, is y = 3x - 9.
