Answer:

3:2

Explanation:

Let's call the trains A and B

Train A moves from Howrah to Patna in 9 hours

Train B moves from Patna to Howrah in 16 hours

Assuming it takes 30 miles to OR from each destination,

Then train A travels 30 miles in 9 hours

Train B travels 30 miles in 16 hours

Train A's speed is 30/9= 3.33 miles per hour

Train B's speed is 30/16= 1.88 miles per hour

Ratio of their speeds(approximately,train A to train B)= 3:2

Let

$A(0,0)\\ B (2.8, 2.1)\\C(4.3, 4.4)$

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The figure is a triangle

we know that

<u>The Heron's Formula</u> is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.

Hero's Formula is equal to

$Area=\sqrt{p*(p-a)*(p-b)*(p-c)}$

where

p is is half the perimeter of the triangle

a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle

so

Step $1$

<u>Find the length sides of the triangle</u>

a) <u>Find the distance AB</u>

$d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(2.1-0)^{2} +(2.8-0)^{2}}$

$d =3.5\ mi}$

b) <u>Find the distance AC</u>

$d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(4.4-0)^{2} +(4.3-0)^{2}}$

$d =6.15\ mi}$

c) <u>Find the distance BC</u>

$d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(4.4-2.1)^{2} +(4.3-2.8)^{2}}$

$d =2.75\ mi}$

Step $2$

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

$Perimeter= 3.5+6.15+2.75 =12.4\ mi$

<u>Find the half of the perimeter </u>

$p=\frac{12.4}{2} = 6.2\ mi$

Step $3$

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>

$Area=\sqrt{6.2*(6.2-3.5)*(6.2-6.15)*(6.2-2.75)}$

$Area=\sqrt{6.2*(2.7)*(0.05)*(3.45)}$

$Area= 1.69\ mi^{2}$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

a) 1.65 mi^2.

Help a brother out!!! Math prom worth 20!! And explain please

Reil [10]

A.

ratio 1 to 1

alright
find the distance between the x values and the y values and seperate each into that ratio
1:1
A to B is (6,12) to (15,-4)
disatnce from 6 to 15 is 9, ratio would be 4.5:4.5=1:1
distance from 12 to -4 is 16, ratio would be 8:8=1:1
so the point would be (4.5,8)

b.
5:2
5+2=7
alright
A to C
(6,12) to (20,12)
distance from 6 to 20 is 14, 14/7=2, 2 times 5=10
distance from 12 to 12=0, so same coordinate
the point is (10,12)

c.
2+3=5

C to B
C is (20,12) and B is (15,-4)
distance from 20 to 15 is 5, so 2 is the x value
distance from 12 to -4 is 16, 16/5 times 2=32/5
the point is (2,32/5)

Identify tan P as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth. HELP PLEASE!!

irakobra [83]

$tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

We have:

$opposite=8.5\\adjacent=16$

Substitute:

$\large\boxed{\tan P=\dfrac{8.5}{16}\approx0.53}$

The graph of f(x)=3•2^x -3 is shown below. G(x) is a transformation of f(x). How would you write the equation for the function g

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the appropriate equation, notice the red graph has shifted up about 6 units. This means that $3*2^x-3$ which is shifted by -3 will move 6 up. -3+6= 3. This means the function will have +3. Only B and C are options. Now test a point. Notice the red function crosses the y-axis at about 5 or 6 when x=0.

$g(x) = 2^x+3\\g(0) = 2^0+3\\g(0)=1+3\\g(0)=4$

This function doesn't match.

$f(0) = 3*2^0+3\\f(0) = 3*1+3\\f(0)=6$

This function matches. Option C is correct.
