Answer:

BD = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem: The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments of the hypotenuse.

So, $\frac{4}{BD} = \frac{BD}{9}$

$BD^{2} = 36$

BD = 6

See how easy that is IF you know the theorem.

Ned is driving at 72km/h, at this rate how long (in hours and minutes) will it take him to drive 210km

beks73 [17]

Answer:

2 hours 55 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate time (T) using the relationship

T = $\frac{D}{S}$ ( D is distance , S is average speed )

T = $\frac{210}{72}$ = 2.9166... hours

to convert to hours and minutes multiply the decimal part by 60 , that is

0.9166.. × 60 = 55 minutes

then time taken to drive 210 Km is 2 hours 55 minutes
