Answer: 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

Answer:

20 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

mixer [17]

Answer:

76 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

GE = 180 since it is a straight line

GE = GR + FE

180 = 7x+6 +6x-8

Combine like terms

180 = 13x-2

Add 2 to each side

182 = 13x

Divide by 13

182/13 = 13x/13

14 =x

We want FE

FE = 6x-8

FE = 6(14) -8

    =84 -8

    =76

Divide line segments
ser-zykov [4K]

tis noteworthy that the segment contains endpoints of A and C and the point B is in between A and C cutting the segment in a 1:2 ratio,

\bf \textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(-9,-7)\qquad C(x,y)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to C}}{1:2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{B}}{\underline{B} C} = \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{A}{C}=\cfrac{1}{2}\implies 2A=1C\implies 2(-9,-7)=1(x,y)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ B=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf B=\left(\cfrac{(2\cdot -9)+(1\cdot x)}{1+2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(2\cdot -7)+(1\cdot y)}{1+2}\right)~~=~~(-4,-6) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{(2\cdot -9)+(1\cdot x)}{1+2}=-4\implies \cfrac{-18+x}{3}=-4 \\\\\\ -18+x=-12\implies \boxed{x=6} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{(2\cdot -7)+(1\cdot y)}{1+2}=-6\implies \cfrac{-14+y}{3}=-6 \\\\\\ -14+y=-18\implies \boxed{y=-4}
