Answer:

AB = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangles are similar so that means there is a constant ratio for each side length. so comparing the ratios from the bigger triangle to the smaller triangle, leaves us with 9/3 and 15/5. if you take those and divide them you get 3 for both of them which is the constant. so then in order to find the length of AB just take the side length of XY (6) and divide it by 3 (the constant ratio) and there you have your answer!

hope this helps.

Answer:

v = 72 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by the Patrick, d = 288 km

Time taken, t = 4 hours

We need to find the average speed of Patrick. We know that the average speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. Let it is v. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{288\ km}{4\ h}\\\\v=72\ km/h$
