Two cars leave towns 760 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hou

r less than the other's. If they meet in 4 hours, what is the rate of the slower car

Answer:

89 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = Rate(speed) × Time

D = R × T

T = 4 hours

One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hour less than the other's.

Hence:

First's car's rate = r × 4 = 4r

Second car's distance = (r + 12) × 4 = 4r + 48

4r + 4r + 48 = 760

8r + 48 = 760

8r = 760 - 48

8r = 712

r = 712/8

r = 89 km/hr

The rate of the slower car is 89 km/hr

1)we calculate the volume of the right rectangular prism
volume=lenght x width x heigth
volume=12 ft * 8.5 ft * 4 ft=408 ft³

density= mass / volume ⇒ mass=volume * density.
density=0.25 pound /ft³

2) we calculate the mass of the right rectangular prism.
mass=volume * density
mass=408 ft³(0.25 pound / ft³)=102 pounds.

A fence is 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. If posts are placed 2 feet apart how many posts are needed?

yuradex [85]

20

There are 10 feet of posts on each side. That means there are 40 feet of fencing in total. If you divide that by two (to represent posts being 2 feet apart) then you get 20. There are 20 posts needed.

in triangle PQR the measure of angle R=90, QP=73, RQ=55, and PR=48. what is the value of the sine of angle P to the nearest Hund

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle PQR forms a right angle triangle since angle R is 90°. The triangle has an hypotenuse , adjacent and opposite side.

Using the SOHCAHTOA principle one can find the sine ratio of angle P. Let us designate where each side represent.

opposite side(QR) = 55

adjacent side(PR) = 48

hypotenuse(PQ) = 73

sin P = opposite/hypotenuse

sin P = 55/73

P = sin⁻¹ 55/73

P = sin⁻¹ 0.75342465753

P = 48.8879095605

P ≈ 48.89°(nearest hundredth)

★ Sanya has a piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus.

★ She wants her one daughter and one son to work on the land and produce different crops, for which she divides the land in two equal parts.

★ Perimeter of land = 400 m.

★ One of the diagonal = 160 m.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}$

★ Area each of them [son and daughter] will get.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Let, ABCD be the rhombus shaped field and each side of the field be $x$

[ All sides of the rhombus are equal, therefore we will let the each side of the field be $x$ ]

Now,

• Perimeter = 400m

$\longrightarrow \tt AB+BC+CD+AD=400m$

$\longrightarrow \tt x + x + x + x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt 4x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt \: x = \dfrac{400}{4}$

$\longrightarrow \tt x= \red{100m}$

$\therefore$ Each side of the field = <u>100m</u><u>.</u>

Now, we have to find the area each [son and daughter] will get.

So, For $\triangle$ ABD,

Here,

• a = 100 [AB]

• b = 100 [AD]

• c = 160 [BD]

$\therefore \tt Simi \: perimeter \: [S] = \boxed{ \sf \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \dfrac{100 + 100 + 160}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \cancel{ \dfrac{360}{2}}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = 180m$

Using <u>herons formula</u><u>,</u>

$\star \tt Area \: of \: \triangle = \boxed{\bf{{ \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) } }}} \star$

where

• s is the simi perimeter = 180m

• a, b and c are sides of the triangle which are 100m, 100m and 160m respectively.

<u>Putt</u><u>ing</u><u> the</u><u> values</u><u>,</u>

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(180 - 100)(180 - 100)(180 - 160) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(80)(80)(20) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180 \times 80 \times 80 \times 20 }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{9 \times 20 \times 20 \times 80 \times 80}$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{ {3}^{2} \times {20}^{2} \times {80}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = 3 \times 20 \times 80$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \red{ 4800 \: {m}^{2} }$

Thus, area of $\triangle$ ABD = <u>4800 m²</u>

As both the triangles have same sides

So,

Area of $\triangle$ BCD = 4800 m²

<u>Therefore, area each of them [son and daughter] will get = 4800 m²</u>
