<span>Dawn was at 6 am.
Variables
a = distance from a to passing point
b = distance from b to passing point
c = speed of hiker 1
d = speed of hiker 2
x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is
The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as
a = cx = 9d
cx = 9d
x = 9d/c
The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as
b = dx = 4c
dx = 4c
x = 4c/d
We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other.
9d/c = 4c/d
Multiply both sides by d
9d^2/c = 4c
Divide both sides by c
9d^2/c^2 = 4
Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides
3d/c = 2
d/c = 2/3
We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now.
x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6
x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6
Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am.
We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>
I can’t understand because I speak English
Answer:
(a) 1 inch of rider ⇒ 0.29 inches of frame
Step-by-step explanation:
The "slope" in the equation is the coefficient of the independent variable. Here, that variable is "h", and its coefficient is 0.29. That is, the height of the rider is multiplied by 0.29 (and a constant is added) in order to find the height of the frame.
__
The meaning of the value 0.29 is that a 1 inch increase in the rider's height should result in a 0.29 inch increase in the height of the frame of the bike.
The question asks for an <em>explanation</em> of the slope, not its function in the equation. That is why we have chosen the first answer.
3,456 I thinks is the answer do u suppose to multiply of something
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
11 times 11 is 121
5 times 5 is 25
13 times 13 is 169
121+25 doesnt equal 169
this means it is not a right angled triangle as it does not follow pythag
