Answer:
Equation
Step-by-step explanation:
A statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).
^^ This is the definition of equation
Difference in size, degree, circumstances, etc.; lack of equality.
^^ This is the definition for Inequality
The question moves more toward equation than inequality.
To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let
us say that:
A = runner
B = cyclist
d = distance
v = velocity
time = t
The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the
time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:
dA = dB
We know that the formula for calculating distance is:
d = v t
therefore,
vA tA = vB tB
Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:
vA (tB + 2) = vB tB
4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB
4 tB + 8 = 14 tB
10 tB = 8
tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min
Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8
hours or 48 minutes.

Answer: D) 144 square cm</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
A square has all four sides that are the same length. So all four sides are 12 cm
area = side*side = 12*12 = 144 cm^2
Or you could say
area = (side)^2 = (12)^2 = 144 cm^2
Squaring a number is the same as multiplying it by itself. Hence the name "square" refers to a side length pairing up with its corresponding area value.
---------
Side note: The perimeter is 4*(side) = 4*12 = 48 cm. It's possible that choice B is put in there as a trick answer.
