24 feet long :)
All I did was I divided the 36 into 3 equal parts of 12, then doubled the 12 to make that longer piece 24 feet. This 24 foot piece would be twice as long as the other leftover 12 foot piece since 12x2=24

Sarah can bicycle a loop around the north part of Lake Washington in 2 hours and 30 minutes. If she could increase her average s
netineya [11]

Answer:

The length of the loop is approximately 49.58 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time required to ride bicycle in loop = 2 hours and 30 mins

Now we know that;

60 mins = 1 hour

30 mins =0.5 hour

so 2 hour and 30 mins = 2+0.5 = 2.5\ hrs

∴ Time required to ride bicycle in loop = 2.5 hrs

Let the speed at which she is riding the bicycle be 's'.

and let Total distance of the loop be 'd'

Now we know that;

Distance is given by speed multiplied by time.

framing in equation form we get;

d =2.5s \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Now Given:

If she increase the speed by 1 km/hr, it would reduce her time around the loop by 7 minutes.

Hence we can say;

Speed =s+1

Also time will be reduce to 7 mins.

7 mins  =0.12 hrs

Now time = 2.5-0.12 =2.38

Again Distance is given by speed multiplied by time.

framing in equation form we get;

d =2.38(s+1) \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now distance is same for both so we will calculate the speed by equating the equations.

2.5s = 2.38(s+1)\\\\2.5s=2.38s+2.38\\\\2.5s-2.38s =2.38\\\\0.12s= 2.38\\\\s =\frac{2.38}{0.12} \approx 19.83\ km/hr

Now Speed = 19.83 km/hr

Length of the loop (d) = 19.83\times 2.5 = 49.58 \ km

Hence the length of the loop is approximately 49.58 km.

The area of the shaded triangles in the fractal shown form a geometric sequence. The area of the largest triangle (not shaded) i
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answers are Blue: \frac{1}{16} square units ; Green:  \frac{1}{64} square units; and Yes the sum converges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the largest triangle is 1 square unit.

The area of the triangle which are colored and follow a geometric sequence with the common ratio being \frac{1}{4}.

Area of the not shaded triangle is given by 1 square unit.

Area of the orange triangle is given by 1 × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4} square units.

Area of the blue triangle is given by \frac{1}{4} × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{16} square units.

Area of the green triangle is given by \frac{1}{16} × \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{64} square units.

If the pattern continues definitely then it becomes an infinite geometric progression series with common ratio \frac{1}{4}. And thus the sum of area coverges as the ratio lies between -1 and 1.
