Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

d1 = d

d2 = 75 - d

r1 = x

r2 = x + 7

t = 3

Equation

x*t + (x + 7)*t = 75

This equation represents the total distance travelled. Neither one of the cyclists have gone 75 miles, but they both have gone distances that equal a total of 75 miles.

Solution

3x + (x + 7)*3 = 75

3x + 3x + 21 = 75

6x + 21 = 75

6x = 54

6x/6 = 54/6

x = 9

Answer

The first cyclist is going 9 miles / hr

The second cyclist is going 16 miles / hour

Answer:56

Step-by-step explanation:

We already have the lengths of the given sides:

5+7=12

12+5=17

17+5=22

22+11=33

33+7=40

40+(5+11)=56

Need help finding the area of the shaded region. Round to the nearest tenth. Need help ASAP
Sergio [31]

Answer:   294.4 m²

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Separate the shaded region into two parts:

  1. The section containing the central angle of 230° (360° - 130°)
  2. The triangle with sides 11.1, 11.1 & 20.12 (use Law of Cosines)

1.\ Area(A)=\pi\ r^2\ \bigg(\dfrac{\theta}{360}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\pi(11.1)^2\bigg(\dfrac{230}{360}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =247.3

2.\ \text{Use Law of cosines to find the length of the third side.}\\\text{ Then use Heron's formula to find the Area of the triangle.}\\\\s=\dfrac{11.1+11.1+20.12}{2}=21.16\\\\\\A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\\\.\ =\sqrt{21.16(21.16-11.1)(21.16-11.1)(21.16-20.12)}\\\\.\ =\sqrt{2227}\\\\.\ =47.1

Area of shaded region = Area of (1) + Area of (2)

                                      =    247.3     +      47.1

                                      =               294.4
