Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.

Mathematics
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]2 years ago
7 0

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.

What type of angles are ∠4 and∠6? Question 2 options: adjacent angles alternate exterior angles alternate interior angles corres
lianna [129]

Angles 4 and 6 are called Alternate Exterior Angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate Exterior Angles are a pair of angles on the outer side of the each of two lines but on opposite sides of the transversal.

When we take two parallel lines they will create 8 angles, such as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8.

In that angle 6 is 65 degrees.

Angles 1,2,3 & $ are in one line and remaining four angles on other line.

So Angles 4 and 6 are alternate exterior angles.

A percent is a rate in which the first term is compared to ______
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

From what we know about percentages and unit rates, the correct options are:

1) 100

2) 1

What is a percent?

Suppose we have an amount A, this would be the 100%.

If we want to know how much a quantity B represents, compared to A, we have:

A = 100%

B = x

where x is a percentage, to find the value of x we compute:

x = (B/A)*100%

While there is a dependence on A, we actually are comparing the term with 100 (because A represents a 100%), so the correct option is A: 100
