65mph
John drove a total of 200 miles (40mph•5)
655-200= 455 miles
Charlie drove this in seven hours, and 455mi/7hours = 65mph
Looking at this problem in terms of geometry makes it easier than trying to think of it algebraically.
If you want the largest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding a rectangle with width x and length y that has the largest perimeter.
If you want the smallest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding the rectangle with the smallest perimeter.
However, the area x*y must be constant and = 100.
We know that a square has the smallest perimeter to area ratio. This means that the smallest perimeter rectangle with area 100 is a square with side length 10. For this square, x+y = 20.
We also know that the further the rectangle stretches, the larger its perimeter to area ratio becomes. This means that a rectangle with side lengths 100 and 1 with an area of 100 has the largest perimeter. For this rectangle, x+y = 101.
So, the difference between the max and min values of x+y = 101 - 20 = 81.
The answer:
<span>the two triangles are similar
in addition, the line UV is parallel to line BC, so we can use the theorem of Thales for proving the following ratios:
AV /AC = AU/ AB= UV/ BC
372/589=20x +80 / AB = 444 / 703
</span>so we get (372/589) AB - 80 = 20x, and x = ( (372/589) AB - 80 ) / 20
exact value of x depends on the value of AB
Answer:
44°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°
In an isosceles triangle the base angles are equal, thus
base angle = = = 44°
