Answer:

32.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time travelled by rider A is 2 hours. If his speed was 12 mph, the distance travelled is 2 * 12 = 24 miles.

The total time travelled by rider A is 3 hours and 30 minutes (so 3.5 hours). If his speed was 9 mph, the distance travelled is 3.5 * 9 = 31.5 miles.

The angle that they make, as rider A was in the direction N 47 E and the rider B was in the direction S 62 E, is equal to 180 - 47 - 62 = 71°

With these values (two distances and a angle between then, we can use law of cosines to find the distance between the bicyclists:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(angle)

c^2 = 24^2 + 31.5^2 - 2*24*31.5*cos(71)

c^2 = 1075.99

c = 32.8 miles

Consider two unique parallel lines. what aspects of these two lines are the same? what aspects of these two lines would have to

kramer

If you have edunuity, the answer is... Two parallel lines will have the same slope. The slopes of parallel lines have to be equal. The y-intercepts of those two lines have to be different, otherwise they would be the same line. The x-intercepts of the parallel lines would also be different.

Natali [406]

Answer:

Contour lines

Step-by-step explanation:

A series of light brown lines drawn at intervals of 50 feet to designate their respective heights above sea level are called CONTOUR lines, or just contour.

A contour line (also called isoline) is a line that indicates points at the same elevation on the map, showing you a representation of the terrain's elevation (hills, mountains, canyons and so on). You will find those lines on specialized maps, like topographic maps, which are different than road maps.

Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe

Sati [7]

A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em> N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800
