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

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

A diagonal of a cube measures StartRoot 294 EndRoot cm. The diagonal of a face measures 14 cm. What is the length of an edge of
hram777 [196]

The side of the edge of the cube is 9. 9cm

<h3>How to determine the length</h3>

Given that the diagonal of a cube measures the square root of 294cm and the diagonal of a face measures 14cm

To find the edge of the face, we know that the face of the cube is a square

Formula for diagonal of a square = \sqrt{2a}

Where is the side of the square

We then have,

\sqrt{2a}  = 14

Make 'a' the subject

a = \frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }

Simplify the surd

a = \frac{14}{\sqrt{2} } × \frac{14}{\sqrt{2} }

a = \frac{14\sqrt{2} }{2}

a = 7\sqrt{2}

a = 9. 9cm

Therefore, the side of the edge of the cube is 9. 9cm

Solve the equation for the specified variable.<br> T= BA-9, for B<br> What does b=
NARA [144]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B=\dfrac{T+9}{A}

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 9 to both sides of the equation, and divide by the coefficient of B.

  T = BA -9

  T +9 = BA

  (T +9)/A = B

We can rewrite that with B on the left:

  B = (T +9)/A
