Answer:

Mom drove for 18 hours.

Dad drove for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of hours for the driving duty = 24 hours

Speed at which the mom drove = 75 miles per hour

Speed at which the dad drove = 60 miles per hour

Total distance driven by both of them = 1710 miles

To find:

Number of hours for which each person drive for ?

Solution:

Let number of hours driven by dad = x hours

Let number of hours driven by mom =  (24 - x) hours

Let us have a look at the formula for Distance in terms of Speed and Time.

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance traveled by Mom = 75 \times x =75x \ miles

Distance traveled by dad = 60(24-x) =144-60x miles

As per question statement:

75x+1440-60x=1710\\\Rightarrow 15x=1710-1440\\\Rightarrow 15x = 270\\\Rightarrow x = 18\ hours

So, Mom drove for 18 hours.

Dad drove for 6 hours.

The length of segment XY is 9cm which statements regarding XYX are correct check all that apply
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The 1st, 3rd, and 5th statements are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

YZ has the same angle as XY, so the length is the same.

A^2+B^2=C^2 shows that XZ equals 9 sqrt 2 cm.

The hypotenuse is always the longest segment in the triangle.

a triangle has a base that is 3 times longer than its height. it has a area of 486 sq cm. what is the base and height
saw5 [17]
B = 3h . . . . . . . .given by the problem statement
A = (1/2)bh . . . . formula for the area of a triangle

486 cm² = (1/2)*(3h)*h . . . substitute given information
(2/3)*486 cm² = h² . . . . . .multiply by 2/3
√324 cm = h . . . . . . . . . . . . . .take the square root

The height is 18 cm.
The base is 3*18 = 54 cm.
