Answer: Tim's average speed is greater

====================================================

Explanation:

Lara traveled a total distance of

AB+BC = (6 miles)+(2 miles) = 8 miles

and did so in

(1.5 hours)+(1 hour) = 2.5 hours

Plug those values into the formula

r = d/t

and we get

r = (8 miles)/(2.5 hours)

r = (8/2.5) mph

r = 3.2 mph

Lara's average speed is 3.2 mph

---------------------------------------

We'll follow the same steps for Tim as well

total distance = AE+ED+DC

total distance = (2 mi)+(4 mi)+(6 mi)

total distance = 12 miles

total time = (0.5 hr)+(1.5 hr)+(1.5 hr)

total time = 3.5 hours

rate = distance/time

r = d/t

r = (12 miles)/(3.5 hours)

r = (12/3.5) mph

r = 3.42857 mph approximately

Tim's average speed is roughly 3.42857 mph. We see that he has the greater average speed.

Linda plans to put in wall-to-wall carpet in her bedroom. She measures the dimensions of her bedroom and skectches up the floor
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The image of the floor dimensions is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

$88.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the attached floor plan, we have to divide it into two parts to solve easily.

To get the smaller side of the bigger triangle; 3 - 0.6 = 2.4m

Thus,bigger triangle measures; 3.6m x 2.4m

For the smaller triangle, dimensions are; 0.6m x 1.2m

Area of bigger triangle = 3.6 × 2.4 = 8.64 m²

Area of smaller triangle = 0.6 × 1.2 = 0.72 m²

Total area = 8.64 + 0.72 = 9.36 m²

Since the carpet costs $9.50 per sq.m.

Thus;

Total spent for wall to wall carpet is = 9.36 × 9.5 = $88.92

A triangle has an area of 24 square units. Its height is 6 units.
devlian [24]
Area of triangle=1/2 times base times  height
given that area=24 and height=6
24=1/2 times base times 6
24=1/2 times 6 times base
24=3 times base
divide both sides by 3
8=base
the base is 8 units long
