Yes it is a right triangle
add the total time = 3+1 = 4 hours
add total miles = 100+49 = 149
divide 149 by 4= 149/4 = 37.25 miles per hour average
Take an example: The salary per hour:
Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:
y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow
