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.

(PLEASE HELP!!!) Ian tosses four fair coins and writes down all the possible outcomes. After creating the sample space for his e
I am Lyosha [343]
The correct order is:
the probability of heads on 2nd and 4th toss only; 
the probability of at least 3 tails in a row; 
the probability of 3 or more heads;
the probability of consecutive tails; and 
the probability of at least 2 tails.

There are 16 outcomes in the sample space.

There are 8 ways of having consecutive tails; this gives the probability 8/16.
There is 1 way of having heads on the 2nd and 4th toss only, making the probability 1/16.
There are 3 ways to have at least 3 tails in a row, making the probability 3/16.
There are 11 ways to have at least 2 tails, making the probability 11/16.
There are 5 ways to have at least 3 heads, making the probability 5/16.
