Answer:

The distance is  S_1 = 45 \  miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which Gabby rode his bike is  v  =  18 \ miles / hour

   The average speed of the car is  u =  60 \  miles / hours

   The distance from Gabby's house to the parents house is  d =  435 \ miles

   The time taken for Gabby to get to his parents house is  t =  9 hours

Generally the distance from Gabby's house to his parent house is mathematically reparented as

        S_1 + S_2 =  d

Here S_1 is the distance from Gabby's house to his sisters house which is mathematically represented as

     S_1 = t_1 *  v

=> Here t_1 is the time taken to move from Gabby's house to his sisters house

while  S_2 is the distance from his sisters  house to his parents house which is mathematically represented as

      S_2 = t_2 *  u

So

      vt_1  + ut_2 =  d

=>  18t_1  + 60t_2 =  435 --- (1)

Generally the total time taken to arrive his parents house from his house is mathematically represented as

        t_1 + t_2 = t

=>    t_1 + t_2 = 9 --- (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2  simultaneously we have that

        18t_1  + 60t_2 =  435 --- (1)

         t_1 + t_2 = 9 --- (2)

multiply equation 2 by 18  and equation 1 by 1

          18t_1  + 60t_2 =  435 --- (3)

         18t_1 +18 t_2 = 162 --- (4)

Substracting equation 3 from 4

          0t_1 + 42t_2 =  273

=>     t_2 = \frac{273}{42}

=>     t_2 = 6.5 \  hours

substituting t_2 into equation 2

       t_1 + 6.5  = 9 --- (2)

=>     t_1 =  2.5 \  hours

So the distance  from Gabby's house to his sisters house is mathematically represented as

          S_1 =2.5  * 18

=>        S_1 = 45 \  miles

Matias stacked his cubes to make this rectangular prism. rectangular prism with grid lines How many cubes did Matias use?
Montano1993 [528]
Counting each visible cube, and multiplying it by 2, he used 112. If you counted them, there would be 56 cubes. You'd multiply by 2 for the non-visible ones.

Answer:

Options (1), (3) and (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation that represents the relationship between the three sides of a triangle is,

a² + b² = c²

Where c = longest side of the triangle

If the length of the given sides satisfy the equation, triangle formed by the sides will be a right triangle.

Option A.

27 in, 36 in, 45 in

(45)² = (27)² + (36)²

2025 = 729 + 1296

2025 = 2025

True.

Option 2.

18 in, 22 in, 28 in

(28)² = (18)² + (22)²

784 = 324 + 484

784 = 808

False.

Option 3

10 in, 24 in, 26 in

(26)² = (10)² + (24)²

676 = 100 + 576

676 = 676

True.

Option 4

20 in, 21 in, 31 in

(31)² = (20)² + (21)²

961 = 400 + 441

961 = 841

False.

Option 5

28 in, 45 in, 53 in

(53)² = (28)² + (45)²

2809 = 784 + 2025

2809 = 2809

True.

Therefore, Options (1), (3) and (5) will be the correct options.
