Nina and Jo both ran a 9 km race.

Mathematics

Wittaler [7]2 years ago

9514 1404 393

Answer:

7.83 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

At her constant pace, Nina's time for 6 km will be found by the proportion ...

(time for 6 km)/(6 km) = (time for 9 km)/(9 km)

time for 6 km = (6 km)/(9 km) × (75 min) = 50 min

Jo's time for the same distance will be 4 minutes less: 50 -4 = 46 min. Jo's speed is ...

speed = distance/time

= (6 km)/(46/60 h) = 360/46 h ≈ 7.83 km/h . . . . Jo's speed

_____

Additional comment

From the 6 km point, the remaining race is half the distance already run, so will take half the time already taken. As we know, Nina will finish in 25 more minutes; Jo will finish in 46/2 = 23 more minutes, 2 minutes ahead of Nina.

Please Help! The following is an isosceles trapezoid, find m < J

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The measure of angle J is 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles Trapezoid

The isosceles trapezoid has its non-parallel sides of the same length, thus the angles they form with their respective parallel sides are congruent.

It means: Angle J is congruent with angle K and angle M is congruent with angle L

The sum of angles in a trapezoid is 180*(4-2)=360°

Thus:

$m\angle J+m\angle K+m \angle M+m\angle L = 360^\circ$

$7x+2+7x+2+25x-14+25x-14=360$

Joining like terms:

$64x-24=360$

Adding 24:

$64x=384$

Dividing by 64:

x=6°

Thus:

$m\angle J = 7*6+2=44^\circ$

$m\angle M = 25*6-14=136^\circ$

The measure of angle J is 44°

Mr. Millar's garden is in the shape of a trapezoid shown below. What is the area of the garden?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

12.5 unit square

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is calculated with the following formula:

(b1 + b2)*h/2 (b1: base, b2: base, h: height)

(4+6)*(2.5)*2 = 12.5

A study has demonstrated that the more television a person watches, the lower that person’s level of physical fitness. However,

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The most valid conclusion here is that the fact that running on a treadmill allows for a greater physical fitness with the television watching deterring the effect of the exercise. In as much as he only watches TV when running, it is not enough to conclude that TV can cause less physical fitness for Pablo.
