Answer:

40 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose grandma's house is  30 miles away (any distance would do but 30 is convenient).

Speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed

Time to get there =  30/60 = 1/2 hour.

Time to get back = 30/30 = 1 hour

Average speed  = total distance/ total time

=  (30 + 30) / ( 1 + 1/2)

= 60 / 1.5

=  40 miles per hour.

You cannot take the average of the speeds directly

(60+ 30)/2  = 45 is not correct as you cannot average ratios ( speed is a ratio).

A circular garden has a circumference of
omeli [17]

This solution to this problem is predicated on the fact that the circumference is just: 2\pir. A straight line going through the center of the garden would actually be the diameter, which is well known to be two times the radius of the circle, so we can say that the circumference is just:

d\pi

So, solving for both the radius and the diameter gives us:

d\pi=8xy^2\pi\\ d=8xy^2\\ \\ 2\pi r=8xy^2\pi\\ r=4xy^2

So, the length of thes traight path that goes through the center of the guardain is just 8xy^2, and we can use the radius for the next part of the problem.

The area of a circle is \pi r^2, which means we can just plug in the radius and find our area:

A=\pi r^2 \implies \\ A=\pi (4xy^2)^2\implies \\ A= 16\pi x^2y^4

So, we have found our area(16 \pi x^2 y^4) and the problem is done.

If two triangles have three corresponding angles and three corresponding sides that are equal in measure, are the two triangles
nikitadnepr [17]
Yes, they are.

If the triangles have three corresponding angles equal means that they are either similar or congruent.

The definition of congruent means that the sides have the same length. That is precisely what the statement says.

So, being the lengths of the corresponding angles the same the two triangles are identical, this is they are congruent.
