The diameter of each wheel of a bicycle is 27 in. If you are traveling at a speed of 40 miles per hour on this bicycle, through

how many revolutions per minute are the wheels turning

Circumference = πd, where d = diameter

we know the wheel has a diameter of 27 inches, so the total circumference is 27π, and that's the arc length of one revolution.

there are 5280 feet in 1 mile and 12 inches in 1 foot.

so in 40 miles there are 40(5280)(12) inches.

and we also know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

\cfrac{40~miles}{hour}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{40(5280)(12)~in}{27\pi ~\frac{in}{rev}}~~}{60~minutes}~~\approx ~~\cfrac{29878.688~rev}{60~minutes}~~ \approx ~~497.978~\frac{rev}{minute}

Lines K and N are perpendicular If the slope of line K is -6, what is the slope of Line N
djverab [1.8K]

line N has slope m = \frac{1}{6}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m}


thus line N has slope - \frac{1}{- 6} = \frac{1}{6}

Determine the shortest segment in △ PQS and △ QRS. Remember that a segment is named by its endpoints (two letters).
irinina [24]

Answer: QS and QR are the shortest segment of the triangle ΔPQS, and ΔSQR respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

ΔPQS, and ΔSQR,

Consider, ΔPQS,

As we know that " the length opposite to the largest angle is the shortest segment."

So, According to the above statement.

\angle QPS=63\textdegree\\\\\text{So, QS is the shortest segment of this triangle}

Similarly,

Consider, ΔSQR,

Again applying the above statement, we get that,

\angle QSR=75\textdegree\\\\\text{ So, QR is the shortest segment of this triangle}

Hence, QS and QR are the shortest segment of the triangle ΔPQS, and ΔSQR respectively.
