Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.

Identify whether the series summation of 16 open parentheses 5 close parentheses to the I minus 1 power from 1 to infinity is a
Svet_ta [14]
We are given with the function summation of 16*(5) ^(I-1) from 1 to infinity. As we assume in the calculator that infinity is equal to a very large number, the result that can be obtained is undefined. This means the number is very large. This is because the ratio (15) is large too. The series is divergent since the number in the infinite geometric series is ever increasing. Answer is B.

Find the circumference and area of a circle with a diameter of 14 inches. Leave your answers in terms of pi. C = 14π; A = 49π. C
Olenka [21]
Given:
diameter = 14 inches
radius = 14 inches / 2 = 7 inches

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r = 2 * π * 7inches = 14 inches * π

Area of a circle = π r² = π * (7in)² = π * 49in² 

C = 14π    and   A = 49π
