Answer:

24 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem

18² + x² = (x + 6)²

Expand

324 + x² = x² + 12x + 36

Subtract x² from both sides

324 = 12x + 36

Subtract 36 from both sides

288 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12

24 = x

24 meters

If you run for 0.4 hours at 7 mph, how fast should you walk during the next 0.8 hours to have the average speed of 5 mph?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is given by the total distance covered by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the total distance covered

t is the time taken

in the first part, the person runs for 0.4 hours at a speed of 7 mph, so the distance covered in the 1st part is

d_1 = v_1 t_1 = (7)(0.4)=2.8 mi

Then the distance covered in the second part is d_2, so the total distance is

d=2.8+d_2 (1)

The total time elapsed is 0.4 hours (first part) + 0.8 hours (second part), so

t=0.4+0.8=1.2 h

So we can write the average speed as

v=\frac{2.8+d_2}{1.2} (1)

We want the average speed to be 5 mph,

v = 5 mph

Therefore we can rearrange eq.(1) to find d2:

d_2 = 1.2v-2.8 = (1.2)(5)-2.8=3.2 mi

And therefore, the speed in the second part must be

v_2=\frac{d_2}{t_2}=\frac{3.2}{0.8}=4 mph
