The three little lines through the sides of the triangle mean all three sides are equal. Because all three sides are equal the three inside angles would aso be equal.
The three angles of a triangle need to equal 180, so we can divide 180 by 3 to find what each angle is:
180 / 3 = 60.
Now we can set the equation with x in it to equal 60:
7x +4 = 60
Subtract 4 from each side:
7x = 56
Divide each side by 7:
x = 56 / 7
x = 8
Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.
b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.
Answer:
1. 23/20 miles, 2. 7/20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Total distance = 3/4 + 2/5
= (3*5)/(4*5) + (2*4)/(5*4)
= 15/20 + 8/20
= 23/20
= 1 3/20 miles
2. Difference between walked miles and jogged miles = 3/4 - 2/5
= 15/20 - 8/20
= 7/20 miles
