Answer:
the correct choice is A. At the gas station
Step-by-step explanation:
Lucy starts at home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. As it is known south and east directions form right angle. Since the entire trip forms a triangle, this triangle is right with right angle at the post office.
Call the vertices of this triangle P - post office, G - gas station, H - home. Then HP and PG are legs of this triangle and GH is hypotenuse.
From the given data:
HP=3;
PG=4;
GH=5;
∠P=90°.
The smallest angle is opposite to the smallest side. The smallest side is leg HP, so the smallest angle is G that is the angle at gas station.
Let d = the length of the trail, miles
Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.
The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours
Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.
t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes
Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.
The answer is 8 marbles. 6*8=48. 48(ednas marbles) + 8(sam's marbles)=56.
Answer: We can arrange the steps with help of below explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here ABC is a triangle,
Draw a perpendicular from BD to side AC ( construction)
where 
In the right triangle BCD, from the definition of cosine:
cos C =CD/ BC
CD= a cos C
Subtracting this from the side b, we see that
DA= b-acos C
In the triangle BCD, from the definition of sine:
sin C =BD / a
BD = a sin C
In the triangle ADB, applying the Pythagorean Theorem
Substituting for BD and DA from (2) and (3)
