Answer:

13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle problem

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

c² = a² + b²

c² = 12² + 5²

c² = 144 + 25

c² = 169

Take the square root of both sides

c = 13

Zalma’s stock investment in March was $120. In October, it was $400.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

In December, Zalma will have $480.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time from March to October is 7 months. In those 7 months, she gains $280. So every month, her investment gains $40.

The time from March to December is 9 months. She will gain $360 during that time. We add her initial $120 with the $360, and Zalma will have $480.

It's not confirmed, but it's what I got. :D

Ali hops on his 3 wheeler and heads off at 12 mph. Two hours later, Fatimah chases after him on a moped at 18 mph. How far will
mash [69]

Answer: 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the relationship:

Distance = speed*time.

Then we can write the equation for distance as a function of time for Ali as:

A(t) = 12mph*t

where t is time in hours.

Fatimah's equation will be:

F(t) = 18mph*(t - 2h)

where the -2h appears because she starts two hours after Ali.

Fatimah will overtake Ali when F(t) = A(t) (their positions are the same)

Then we need to solve:

12mph*t = 18mph*(t - 2h)

12mph*t = 18mph*t - 18mph*2h

12mph*t = 18mph*t - 36 mi

36 mi = (18mph - 12mph)*t

36mi = 6mph*t

36mi/6mph = t

6h = t

So Ali travels for 6 hours before he gets overtaken, then the total distance that Ali travels is:

A(6h) = 12mph*6h = 72 mi
