Answer:
750 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
Answer:
40 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the maximum speed at which the car can travel, as the distance it requires to stop is 168 feet, we just need to use the value of d = 168 in the equation, and then find the value of s:
168 = 0.05s^2 + 2.2s
0.05s^2 + 2.2s - 168 = 0
Using Bhaskara's formula: we have:
Delta = 2.2^2 + 4*0.05*168 = 38.44
sqrt(Delta) = 6.2
s1 = (-2.2 + 6.2)/0.1 = 40 mph
s2 = (-2.2 - 6.2)/0.1 = -84 mph (a negative value does not make sense as 's' is the speed of the car)
So the maximum speed of the car is 40 mph
