So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or
a being area
b being base
h being height
the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm
(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)
so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get
and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120
So the answer is 120
Answer:
The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.
Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took : . Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.
Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:
Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:
Now we solve for in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:
So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute
