Answer: I got 27.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fraction equal to

220 miles ÷ 8 hours

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 8

220 miles ÷ 8

8 hours ÷ 8

27.5 miles

1 hour

27.5 miles

hour

= 27.5 miles per hour

Find the value of d.

Ket [755]

First find the value or (DEA)
For this you will have to use the Pythagorean theory,
${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$
C is mainly the hypotenuse,
Meaning you either want to find A or B,

Since the hypotenuse has two segments, both values are 10, then just add them together making it 20,

Then 16 will be A or B, in this case it will be A,

To find a you must first move A to the other side by doing the opposite,
${b}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {a}^{2}$
Now plug in the values,
${b}^{2} = {20}^{2} - {16}^{2}$
${b}^{2} = 400 - 256$
${b}^{2} = 144$
Now just find the square root of both factors,
$\sqrt{ {b}^{2} } = \sqrt{12}$
The value of (DEA) is,
$b = 12$
Now we want to find (d)
Since 12 is the value of the base, then divide it 2 to find (DE), after just repeat the whole process but with the value of hypotenuse 10 instead of 20 since we want to find the smaller triangle,
${a}^{2} = {c}^{2} - {b}^{2}$
Now plug in the value
${a}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {6}^{2}$
${a}^{2} = 100 - 36$
${a}^{2} = 64$
Now find the square root of both factors,
$\sqrt{ {a}^{2} } = \sqrt{64}$
$a = 8$

The value of (d) is (8)

Which of the two triangles has the greatest area?

katrin [286]

Answer:

they have the same area

Step-by-step explanation:

they have the same measure in legs and the same length hypotenuse. One of them is just transformed either by rotation or refection or translation
