<h3>Answer:   216 miles</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

d = distance from work to his house

x = speed when weather is good

y = speed when weather is bad

y = x-6 since he travels 6 mph slower

------------------------

On a good weather day, he travels for 4 hours and goes at x mph

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = x*4

d = 4x

----------------------

On a bad weather day, he travels 4.5 hours (half hour more than 4 hrs) and goes at y = x-6 mph

d = r*t

d = y*4.5

d = 4.5y

d = 4.5(x-6) .... replace y with x-6

d = 4.5x-27 .... distribute

----------------------

The values of d for both equations are the same, as the biker is traveling the same distance. So we can equate the two right hand sides (RHS) and solve for x.

4.5x-27 = 4x

4.5x-4x = 27

0.5x = 27

x = 27/0.5

x = 54

The biker's speed on a good weather day is 54 mph.

A bad weather day's speed would be y = x-6 = 54 - 6 = 48 mph.

----------------------

Now compute the value of d

d = 4x

d = 4*54

d = 216

The biker travels 216 miles on a good weather day

or,

d = 4.5*y

d = 4.5*48

d = 216

the biker travels that same distance on a bad weather day.

Which of the following are among the five basic postulates of euclidean geometry
docker41 [41]

Answer : The Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system that is attributed to Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid. He described mostly about the Elements in geometry. The method consisted of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions from these.

The five basic postulates of euclidean geometry are as follows;

  1. A straight line may be drawn between any two points.
  2. A piece of straight line may be extended indefinitely.
  3. A circle may be drawn with any given radius and an arbitrary center.
  4. All right angles are equal.
  5. If a straight line crossing two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if extended indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
