The square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
You can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate QR:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = QR^2
25 + 144 = QR^2
169 = QR^2
This means that the square root of 169cm is QR, which is 13cm.
SR is equal to QR, which means that SR is 13cm.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
What we need to know simply is the time taken for both trips. We know the car spent 6 hours on the first leg, that is settled.
What we do not know is the time spent on the second leg. To get the time spent on the second leg of the journey, we only need to get the total distance divided by the speed.
We can get the distance using the first part of the question. The time is 6 hours and the speed is x miles per hour, the total distance is this 6x miles.
Now we need to know the time spent on the second leg of the journey. We know that the distance is the same. Hence the time spent is 6x/y where y is the speed for the second leg and 6x is the length of each leg
Now the total time spent is thus (6x/y +6) hours. We need to however convert this to minutes. We do this by multiplying by 60
(6x/y + 6) * 60
Opposite number is like 8 and -8. And absolute value is like -8 and 8 or 9 and 9. The absolute value is always positive.
