Answer:

we conclude that the relationship between distance and time is NOT proportional.

Hence, she did not drive at a constant speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when 'y' varies directly with 'x', we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality.

In our case, the table shows the distance Allison drove on one day of her vacation.

Time (h)              1         2        3          4        5

Distance (mi)       55    100     165     280    250

using the equation

k = y/x

susbtitute y = 55, x = 1

k = 55/1 = 55

substitute y = 100, x = 2

k = y/x

k = 100 / 2 = 50

substitute y = 165, x = 3

k = y/x

k = 165 / 3 = 55

substitute y = 280, x = 4

k = y/x

k = 280 / 4 = 70

substitute y = 250, x = 5

k = y/x

k = 250 / 5 = 50

It is clear that the value of 'k' does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that the relationship between distance and time is NOT proportional.

Hence, she did not drive at a constant speed.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Try this option:
According to property such triangle
1. area=0.5*a*b, where a and b - the sides of angle 90°.
Using this equation: 180=0.5*40*b, ⇒ b=9.
2. c²=a²+b², ⇒c=√(9²+40²)=41 - the third side of the triangle;
3. Perimeter=a+b+c=9+40+41=90 cm.

answer: 90 cm.
