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>

The area of the regular hexagon is 10.4 in.2. a regular hexagon has side lengths of 2 inches and an area of 10.4 inches squared.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

  (b)  1.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular polygon in terms of perimeter and apothem is given by the formula ...

   A = 1/2Pa

For a hexagon, the perimeter is 6 times the side length, so this becomes ...

  A = 1/2(6s)a = 3sa . . . . . for side length 's' and apothem 'a'

__

Solving for the apothem, we find ...

  a = A/(3s)

For the given values of area and side length the apothem is ...

  a = 10.4/(3·2) = 1.733... ≈ 1.7 . . . inches

The apothem, rounded to tenths, is 1.7 inches.
