A car is traveling on a small highway and is either going 55 miles per hour or 35 miles per hour, depending on the speed limits,

until it reaches its destination 200 miles away. Letting x represent the amount of time in hours that the car is going 55 miles per hour, and y being the time in hours that the car is going 35 miles per hour, an equation describing the relationship is:
55x + 35y = 200

If the car spends 2.5 hours going 35 miles per hour on the trip, how long does it spend going 55 miles per hour?

Round your answer to the nearest hundredths decimal place.

Answer:

  2.05 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given equation with the given time, we have ...

  55x +35(2.5) = 200

  55x = 112.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 87.5

  x = 2.05 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 55

The car spends 2.05 hours at 55 mph.

Which of the following could be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Ratio of longer leg to hypotenuse is;  \sqrt{3} : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the special right angle triangle 30°-60°-90°  as shown below in the figure.

  • The side opposite the 30° angle is always the shortest because 30 degrees is the smallest angle.
  • The side opposite the 60° angle will be the longer leg, because 60 degrees is the mid-sized degree angle in this triangle.
  • Finally , the side opposite the 90° angle will always be the largest side(Hypotenuse) because 90 degrees is the largest angle.

In 30°−60°−90° right triangle,

  • the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg,also
  • the length of the longer leg is \sqrt{3} times the length of the shorter leg.

Then:

the sides are in proportion i.e,  1:\sqrt{3} :2

Therefore, the ratio of the length of the longer leg to the length of its hypotenuse is:  \sqrt{3} : 2
