A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled time elapsed (hours) with entries 2, 4, 7. Column 2 is labeled Distance Run (miles) with entries 13.5, 27.5, 48.5. Larry recorded his time as he ran. What was his average speed from hour 2 to hour 4? What was his average speed from hour 4 to hour 7? Did he speed up or slow down?

the value of x is 9 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* we can solve this problem using cosine and sine rule

- in δ abc

∵ ab = 36 , bc = 28 , ac = 16

- lets find the measure of angle b using the cosine rule

∵ cos b = [ab² + bc² - ac²]/2(ab)(bc)

∴ cos b = [36² + 28² - 16²]/2(36)(28)

∴ cos b = 19/21

∴ m∠b = cos^-1(19/21) ≅ 25°

- lets find the measure of angle a using the sine rule

∵ sina/bc = sinb/ac = sinc/ab

∴ sina/28 = sin25°/16 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ sina = 28 × sin25°/16

∴ sina = 0.7396

∴ m∠a = sin^-1(0.7396) ≅ 48°

- from the figure m∠abd = m∠dbc

∵ m∠abc = 25°

∴ m∠abd = 25°/2 = 12.5°

- in δabd

∵ m∠a = 48° , m∠abd = 12.5°

∵ the sum of the measures of the interior angles of any δ is 180°

∴ m∠adb = 180° - (48° + 12.5°) = 119.5°

∵ ab = 36

∵ ad = x

- use the sine rule to find x

∵ sin∠adb/ab = sin∠abd/x

∴ sin119.5°/36 = sin12.5°/x ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ x = 36 × sin12.5°/sin119.5° = 8.95 ≅ 9

* the value of x is 9

45.36 feet per second.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work let us convert miles to feet and minutes to seconds.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

now we will divide 158400 by 3492 to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work.

therefore, tyrone traveled on his way to work at the rate of 45.36 feet per second.
