Tom did not break the 70mph speed limit of M1.

To know if Tom breaks the speed limit of the M1, we must first calculate Tom's speed and compare it to M1's speed limit.

Using the formula below,

s = d/t............... Equation 1

Where:

s = Tom's speed
d = distance from Leicester to London
t = time taken to travel from Leicester to London

From the question,

Given:

d = 143 miles
t = 8:25 to 10:15 = 2 hours 10 munites = (2+10/60) = (2+0.17)
t = 2.17 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 1

s = 143/2.17
s = 65.899 mph.

Hence, Since Tom's speed is less than the M1 speed limit, Tom did not break the 70mph speed limit of M1.

How do you find the slope and put it in slope intercept form

Anna11 [10]

To find the slope take your points, they should be (x1,y1) (x2,y2), proceed to subtract y2-y1 over x2-x1. after you calculate that simplify and put it in y=mx+B (the slope goes in the m position and x is usually left open)

Ms. Mwanted to estimate the height of the Republic Plaza building in downtown Denver. She has an app on

Volgvan

Answer:

The height of the bullding is 717 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Triangles

The trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.) are defined as relations between the triangle's side lengths.

The tangent ratio for an internal angle A is:

$\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

The image below shows the situation where Ms. M wanted to estimate the height of the Republic Plaza building in downtown Denver.

The angle A is given by his phone's app as A= 82° and the distance from her location and the building is 100 ft. The angle formed by the building and the ground is 90°, thus the tangent ratio must be satisfied. The distance h is the opposite leg to angle A and 100 ft is the adjacent leg, thus:

$\displaystyle \tan 82^\circ=\frac{h}{100}$
