Answer:
hey, i might help in english?
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to calculate the 2 angles that make up Angle B at the top of the triangle.
Using that angle we can find the length of CD.
See the attached picture:
Let wind speed = x mph
when she rode 2 miles against the wind we have:-
speed = distance / time so
20 - x = 2 / t -------(1) where t is the time she took.
when riding with the wind we have
20 + x = 3 / t--------(2) adding equations (1) and (2):-
40 = 2/t + 3/t
40 = 5/t
t = 5/40 = 1/8 hr
x = 20 - 2 / 1/8 = 20 - 16 = 4
Wind speed was 4 mph Answer
Since our sum is 62, and we have consecutive numbers being added, our range is most likely going to be from 10-20.
To further solve this problem easily, try finding 4 consecutive numbers with the ones place adding up to 12, 22, 32, 42, or any number that sums up to the 2 in the ones place.
Let's try 14, 15, 16, 17, since 4, 5, 6, and 7 sum up to a number with a 2 in the ones place.
14 + 15 = 29,
16 + 17 = 33.
33 + 29 is 62.
We have found the age of the friends, but we're looking for the oldest.
Our largest number is 17.
Your answer is 17 years old.
I hope this helps!
