Answer:

12 mph and 16 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = speed * time

56 = s * 2 + (s - 4) * 2

56 = 2s + 2s - 8

56 = 4s - 8

64 = 4s

16 = s

s = 16

s - 4 = 12

Let the speed of the faster bike = X

The slower bike would be x - 4 ( 4 mph slower)

Multiply each speed by time and add to equal total distance:

2x + 2(x-4) = 56

Simplify:

2x + 2x -8 = 56

4x -8 = 56

Add 8 to each side:

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 64/4

x = 16

The faster bike rode at 16 miles per hour

The slower bike traveled at 16-4 = 12 miles per hour

16 = G + C
C = G - 6
16 = G + G - 6
16 = 2G - 6
22 = 2G
11 = G
G = 11


20 = B + K
B = 3K
20 = 3K + K
20 = 4K
5 = K
20 - 5 = 15
B = 15

We'll use the Pythagorean Theorem
130^2 = side^2 +50^2
side ^ 2 = 16,900 -2,500
side ^ 2 = 14,400
side = square root (14,400)
side = 120 feet

In ∆RST, which side is included between ∠R and ∠S?
Lera25 [3.4K]
Hi there!

Since triangle RST is stated with the sides in order (R is connected to S, which is connected to T, which is then connected to R), the side between R and S is T. 

Hope this helps!
