Two cars leave an intersection at the same time. One drives east while the other travels south at 25 miles per hour faster than the other. After 2 hours, the cars are 250 miles apart. How fast is the southbound car driving?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse (side opposite of the right angle), which is in our case the distance of the 2 cars.

after 2 hours the east car was driving x miles. and the south car was driving x + 2×25 = x + 50 miles.

x² + (x + 50)² = 250²

x² + x² + 100x + 2,500 = 62,500

2x² + 100x = 60,000

x² + 50x = 30,000

x² + 50x - 30,000 = 0

the solution for a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 50

c = -30,000

x = (-50 ± sqrt(2500 - 4×1×-30000))/(2×1) =

= (-50 ± sqrt(2500 + 120000)/2 =

= (-50 ± sqrt(122500))/2 = (-50 ± 350)/2 =

= -25 ± 175

x1 = -25 + 175 = 150 miles

x2 = -25 - 175 = -200 miles.

negative distances don't make any sense here in our scenario, so the solution is x = 150 miles.

therefore, the east car was going 75 mph (traveled in 2 hours 150 miles).

and the south car was going 75 + 25 = 100 mph (traveled in 2 hours 200 miles).

What is Statistics?

Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.

Given that a researcher is comparing the effectiveness of three devices.

There are 210 people who snore participating in the experiment

The researcher will randomly place the participants into three equally sized treatment groups suitable for comparison.

We need to find the range which would be needed to label the subjects correctly.

210 people are participating in experiment

We need to label subjects from 001 to 210

Since there is no value in using 000 to indicate someone.

Hence, 000–210 is the range would be needed to label the subjects correctly.

Marlee had a certain amount of money (x) in her bank

for her birthday. She then spent of the money in her account on rent that totaled $550. Which equation represents this situation?

Answers

Answer:

x-490=t

Step-by-step explanation:

Marlee has x money

She deposited $60 meaning adding $60 to the bank

So x+60

THen Marlee need to withdraw $550 from her bank to rent

So the equation is now

x+60-550

60-550 is -490

Thus:

x-490

(I will represent (t) as the money she has left for the equation)

Thus the equation is

x-490=t

76 is 0.4% of what number? Use pencil and paper. Would you expect the answer to be a lot less than 76. Slightly less than 76, slight greater than 76, or a lot greater than 76? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a lot greater. If you take 0.4% of some number and the answer is 76, you better be starting with something that is very large. The formula will make the solution automatic.

Formula

Let the number be x

0.4% x = 76

0.4% = 0.4/100

0.4 / 100 * x = 76            Multiply both sides of the equation by 100

0.4x = 76*100                Combine the right.

0.4x = 7600                  Divide by 0.4

x = 7600/0.4

x = 19000                       Which is quite a bit larger than 76

Answer:

greater than 76

Step-by-step explanation:

in that case we can imagine a diagonal line DB that splits the quadrilateral into 2 right-angled triangles: ADB and CDB.

the area of the quadrilateral is then the sum of the areas of the 2 triangles.

the area of a right-angled triangle is

leg1 × leg2 / 2

with the legs being the sides that enclose the 90 degree angle.

so, for ADB we get

AD × AB / 2 = 3 × 11 / 2 = 33/2 = 16.5

for CDB we get

BC × CD / 2 = 7 × 9 / 2 = 63/2 = 31.5

so, in total for the area of the quadrilateral we get

16.5 + 31.5 = 48

Find all the numbers for each shape

Answers

Answer:

1 = pentagon2 = diamond3 = square5 = circle6 = rectangle7 = oval8 = triangle9 = hexagon10 = trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

Each half of a hanger divides the total weight in half. The right-most vertical has a total weight of 80/16 = 5. It consists of a square and a diamond, and we know the square is 1 more than the diamond. That means 2 diamonds weigh 5 -1 = 4. A diamond weighs 2, and a square weighs 3. The other half of that balance is a circle, which weighs 5.

The total of a square and oval is 10, so the oval is 10 -3 = 7. The two trapezoids weigh 20, so each is 10.

The second vertical from the left is a circle and diamond which will weigh 5+2 = 7. That makes the sum of a pentagon and rectangle also be 7. The 7+7 = 14 below the square on the left branch makes the total of that branch be 14+3 = 17, which is also the sum of the triangle and hexagon.

The weight below the rectangle at top left is 17+17 = 34, and the weight of that entire branch is 40. Thus the rectangle is 40-34 = 6, which makes the pentagon 7-6 = 1.

We require the sum of the triangle and hexagon be 17, with the triangle being the smaller value, and both being 9 or less (the trapezoid is the only figure weighing more than 9). Hence the triangle is 8 and the hexagon is 9.

The weights are summarized in the answer section, above.

Can a right angle be formed by acute angles?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, 2 or more acute angles can be in a right angle based on the degree.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle is 90 degrees so any acute angle would be less than 90 degrees which means that there can be multiple acute angles based on the degrees. There can be 2 or more acute angles based on degrees that lead up to 90 degrees in total.

Very important question ☺️​

Answers

Answer:

130⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

<Q = x

<R = y

So,

In ∆PQR

2x + 2y + 80 = 180(Sum of all angle in a triangle is 180⁰)

2(x + y) = 180 - 80

2(x + y) = 100

x + y = 100/2

x + y = 50

Now,

In ∆QOR

x + y + QOR = 180(Sum of all angle in a triangle is 180⁰)

50 + QOR = 180

QOR = 180 - 50

QOR = 130⁰
