Suppose that a storm front is traveling at 33 mph. When the storm is 13 miles away a storm chasing van starts pursuing an average speed of 54 mph. How long does it take for the van to catch up with the storm? How far have they driven? (Hint: we can let our two variables be x= distance and t= time. Additionally, [speed x time= distance]. Won’t the van catch up when the distances are equal? Please make it easy to understand your answer :)

Time = X = 37.14 minutes

Distance they covered= 33.42 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance= speed * time

And the distance traveled by the two need to be equal.

Speed of storm = 33 mph

Speed of van = 54 mph

But storm is 13 miles away from van.

So

54*x = 33*x+ 13

54x-33x = 13

21x = 13

X= 0.62 hours

X = 37.14 minutes

54 *0.62= 33.42 miles.

the answer is 24

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
