Answer:  1:30 PM

It takes 30 minutes

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours traveled

We'll use the equation

distance = rate*time

You bike at a rate of 12 mph and do so for x hours. That means you travel 12x miles based on the equation above. Your friend travels 4x miles for similar reasoning. Overall, the two of you travel a combined distance of 12x+4x = 16x miles. This combined distance is set equal to the 8 miles (distance between your houses) and you solve for x.

16x = 8

x = 8/16

x = 1/2

x = 0.5

Recall x is the number of hours, so that means it takes 1/2 an hour for the two of you to meet. This is equivalent to 30 minutes since 1/2*60 = 30.

If all of this starts at 1 PM, then you'll meet up at 1:30 PM since we add on 30 minutes to 1 PM to get to this moment in time.

------------------

Extra info:

You travel 12x = 12*0.5 = 6 miles

Your friend travels 4x = 4*0.5 = 2 miles

Total distance = you+friend = 6+2 = 8 miles

This helps confirm the answer.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!

For this case what we must do is use the law of cosines.
 We then have the following equation:
 c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 - 2 * a * b * cos (x)&#10;
 Where,
 a, b: sides of the triangle
 x: angle between sides a and b.
 Substituting values we have:
 c^2 = 90^2 + 75^2 - 2*90*75*cos(85)&#10;
 Clearing the value of c we have:
 c =  \sqrt{ 90^2 + 75^2 - 2*90*75*cos(85)}
 Answer:
 
An expression that is equivalent to how many feet the oak trees are from each other is:
 
c = \sqrt{ 90^2 + 75^2 - 2*90*75*cos(85)}
