Answer:

The answer is 40 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boy leaves on a bicycle trip at the rate of 8 mph.

One hour later the father, sets out by car.

Let x be the speed of the father.

Distance of boy = rate x time = 8(1.25)

Distance of father = 0.25x

We will equal both Distance = Distance

8(1.25)=0.25x

=> 10=0.25x

Multiplying both sides by 4:

40=4(0.25x)

x = 40

Hence, the answer is 40 mph.

<span>To catch him in 15 minutes the father must travel 32 miles per hour faster (since 1/4 hr * 32 mph = 8 miles)...
Thus the father must drive at 40 miles per hour. </span>

Trevon is helping his sister study for her geometry test while staying at a hotel.
Serhud [2]

Option (C) -: The hotel floors are parallel to each other, and the elevator moves in a path that is perpendicular to them both.

<h3>What is parallel and perpendicular ?</h3>

In geometry two lines are parallel to each other when they have no intersecting point and the distance between them is constant.

Two lines are perpendicular if they have an intersecting point and they intersect each other at at 90°.

From the given figure we can observe the distance between the floor ceiling of 3rd and 6th floor is constant therefore they are parallel to each other.Now if we imagine the elevator going up and down an imaginary line (meeting line of two elevator doors) would intersect them at an angle of 90°.

∴The hotel floors are parallel to each other, and the elevator moves in a path that is perpendicular to them both.
