recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?
so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.
then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.
let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.
the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.
For the triangle, x is 12 units long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
The hypotenuse is the side which is the longest in the triangle and is always opposite the right angle.
In the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 units long. The other two sides measure 5 units and x units.
Step 2:
By substituting the known values, we get
Rounding this off to the nearest hundred, we get that x is 12 units long.
