Answer:
Li Ping's statement makes sense.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a square with side lengths a inches is given by, 
.
Now, the area of a parallelogram with equal sides a inches, which is not a square is given by, 
, where, h is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.
See the diagram attached.
Since a is the hypotenuse of as right triangle with height h, hence, a > h.
So, 
Therefore, Li Ping's statement makes sense. (Answer)
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve problems like this, always recall the "Two-Tangent theorem", which states that two tangents of a circle are congruent if they meet at an external point outside the circle.
The perimeter of the given triangle = IK + KM + MI
IK = IJ + JK = 13
KM = KL + LM = ?
MI = MN + NI ?
Let's find the length of each tangents.
NI = IJ = 5 (tangents from external point I)
JK = IK - IJ = 13 - 5 = 8
JK = KL = 8 (Tangents from external point K)
LM = MN = 14 (Tangents from external point M)
Thus,
IK = IJ + JK = 5 + 8 = 13
KM = KL + LM = 8 + 14 = 22
MI = MN + NI = 14 + 5 = 19
Perimeter = IK + KM + MI = 13 + 22 + 19 = 54
Let x = speed of the first car
the second car is 12 km slower so the seconds car speed is x-12
they each drove 2 hours so 1st car = 2x
2nd car = 2(x-12)
they drove 360 km
so you have 2x + 2(x-12) = 360
solve for x
2x+2(x-12) = 360
2x + 2x-24 = 360
4x-24 = 360
4x = 384
x = 384/4
x = 96
1st car drove at 96 km per hour
slower car drove at 96-12 = 84 km per hour
