Answer:

1.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first half hour, Sandra hikes 9/10 = 0.9 miles. She hikes that distance again in the second half-hour. After an hour, Sandra has hiked ...

2 × 0.9 miles = 1.8 miles

If you like, you can consider it a "unit rate" problem. To find miles per hour, divide miles by hours:

(9/10 mi)/(1/2 h) = (9/10)(2/1) mi/h = 9/5 mi/h = 1.8 mi/h

Sandra hikes 9/5 or 1.8 miles in an hour.

Rectangle ABCD and right triangle DCE have the same area. They are joined to form a trapezoid, as shown. What is DE?

vfiekz [6]

Since the areas are the same (5 x 6 = 30 units), and the height of the triangle (DC) is 5 so the length of the triangle must be 12. (1/2 of 5 x 12 is also 30)

So now we use the Pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c² we have 5² + 12² = c² or 25 + 144 = c² or 169 = c²

The square root of 169 is 13 so side DE is 13 units.
