So hmm notice the first picture, that's the "inscribed angle theorem", as you'd know
now, notice angle 2 in yours on the second picture
To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.
"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*
"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n
"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16
Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.
Take bus=5 times walk
b=5w
b+w=24
sub 5w for b
5w+w=24
6w=24
divide both sides by 6
w=4
sub back
b=5w
b=5(4)
b=20
bus-walk=20-4=16
answer is 16 more take the bus than walk
Split it into 7 triangles. Half-base of each is 2 so the distance of center to the midpoint of the base is (Pythagoras) square root of (4.62 - 22) = 4.162 triangle is this times 2, and with 7 triangles multiply also by 7 to get an approximate area of 58 sq in.
