Alfonso runs 10 km at an average speed of x km/h.

Mathematics
1 answer:
puteri [66]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that t = d/r where t is time, d is distance, and r is rate/speed.

We can come up with two equations with the information given and the equation:

t_1 hr = (10 km)/(x km/hr)

t_2 hr = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr)

<em>where t_1 is the time taken to run the 10km the first day and t_2 is the time taken to run the 12km the second day.</em>

We know that 30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour and that t_1 is 30 minutes less than t_2 (as stated in the question). Therefore, we can write:

t_1 = t_2 - 1/2

Substituting the values we derived:

(10 km)/(x km/hr) = (12 km)/(x - 1 km/hr) -1/2

Then we can evaluate by multiplying by 2x(x-1) on both sides:

20(x-1) = 24x - (x)(x-1)

20x - 20 = 24x - x^2 + x

x^2 -5x -20 = 0

And we are done.

I hope this helps! :)

Find the area of the following figure round to the nearest​
inysia [295]

Answer:

lets divide the figure into two parts.

triangle base=2ft+2ft+6ft

triangle base=10ft

area of triangle = 1/2×base×height

area of triangle = 1/2×10ft×12ft

area of triangle =60ft²

area of square=side²

area of square=(6ft)²

area of square=36ft²

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

m∠ABC = m∠BED; Corresponding Angles Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u> line BC is parallel to line ED m∠ABC = 70° m∠CED = 30°

<u>Prove:</u> m∠BEC = 40°

Statement Justification

1. line BC is parallel to line ED - Given

2. m∠ABC = 70° - Given

3. m∠CED = 30° - Given

4. m∠BEC + m∠CED = m∠BED - Angle Addition Postulate

5. m∠ABC = m∠BED - Corresponding Angles Theorem

6. m∠BEC + 30° = 70° - Substitution Property of Equality

7. m∠BEC = 40° Subtraction Property of Equality
