Answer:
<em>3 hours</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Average speed of Willie = 40 km/h
After 2 hours, Gabriella traveled in opposite direction at an speed of 70 km/h.
After some time, they are 410 km apart.
To find:
Number of hours = ?
Solution:
For the first two hours, Willie traveled alone.
Formula for distance:
Distance traveled in two hours by Willie =
Now, they both travel in opposite directions.
So the relative speed is = 40 + 70 = 110 km/h
The distance traveled by them = 410 - 80 = 330 km
Therefore, the time taken is <em>3 hours.</em>
Answer:
3 metres
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.
The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:
(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)
16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find
Cross-multiply:
16x = 48
x = 3
The answer is thus 3 metres.
