two mountain bikers leave from the same parking lot and head in opposite directions on two different trails. the first rider goes 8km due east, then rides due south for 15km. The second rider goes 8km due west, then changes directions and rides 20 degrees west of due north for 15km. Both riders have been traveling for 23km, but which one is further from the parking lot?
Applying the required rule or theorem, it can be concluded that the second biker is farther from the parking lot. The distance of the bikers to the parking lot are:
i. First biker = 17.0 km
ii. Second biker = 20.22 km
The path of travel of both bikers would form a triangle. Applying the Pythagoras theorem to the path of the first biker would give his distance from the starting point. While applying the cosine rule to the path of second rider would gives his distance to the starting point.
Thus,
a. To determine the distance of the first biker from the parking lot.
Let the required distance be represented by x. Applying the Pythagoras theorem, we have:
[tex]hyp^{2}[/tex] = [tex]adj 1^{2}[/tex] + [tex]adj 2^{2}[/tex]
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]8^{2}[/tex] + [tex]15^{2}[/tex]
= 64 + 225
= 289
x = [tex]\sqrt{289}[/tex]
= 17
x = 17 km
Thus, the first biker is 17.0 km from the starting point.
b. To determine the distance of the second biker from the parking lot.
Let the required distance be represented by x. So that applying the cosine rule, we have:
[tex]c^{2}[/tex] = [tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] - 2ab Cos θ
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]8^{2}[/tex] + [tex]15^{2}[/tex] - 2(15*8) Cos (180 - 20)
= 64 + 225 - 240 Cos 160
= 289 - 240 * -0.5
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 289 + 120
= 409
x = [tex]\sqrt{409}[/tex]
= 20.2237
x = 20.22 km
Thus, the second biker is 20.22 km from the starting point.
Therefore, the second biker is farther from the parking lot.
A sketch of the path of travel for the two bikers is attached for more clarifications.

What is the least common denominator of two rational terms?
The factored denominator of two rational terms are called least common denominator of two rational numbers.
How to find the least common denominator of two rational terms?To find the least common denominator of two rational terms, we factor the expression and multiply all the distinct factors.
According to the given question
We have two rational expressions
[tex]\frac{9}{4x^{2} -12x}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{7x}{x^{2} -9}[/tex]
Now let's factorize the denominators
[tex]4x^{2} -12x =4x(x-3)[/tex]
and, [tex]x^{2} -9=(x+3)(x-3)[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{9}{4x^{2} -12x}+\frac{7x}{x^{2} -9}[/tex]
⇒[tex]\frac{9}{4x(x-3)} +\frac{7x}{(x-3)(x+3)}[/tex]
⇒[tex]\frac{9(x+3)+7x(4x)}{4x(x-3)(x+3)}[/tex]
Therefore, the least common denominator of two given rational expression are 4x, (x-3) and (x+3).

Calculate the speed of a car that travels 50 km (kilometers) in 30 min (minutes). Question 1 options: 1. 6 km/min (kilometers per minute) 1. 6 miles/hour 1,500 km/min (kilometers per minute) 1,500 miles/hour.
The speed of this car is equal to 1.6 km/min.
Given the following data:
Distance = 50 kilometers.Time = 30 minutes.To calculate the speed of this car:
Speed can be defined as the distance travelled by an object per unit time and it is usually measured in meter per seconds (m/s). Also, speed has magnitude but no direction and as such it is a scalar quantity.
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;
[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]Speed = \frac{50}{30}[/tex]
Speed = 1.6 km/min.

What is the perimeter and area of this shape
Would help if you explained why
Will give brainliest
Answer:
area: 133.5 m²perimeter: 52.02 mStep-by-step explanation:
AreaThe area of each trapezoid can be found using the relevant formula:
A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h . . . . b1, b2 are the base lengths; h is the height
For the top trapezoid, the height is 13 m-7 m = 6 m, so the area is ...
A = 1/2(8 m +5 m)(6 m) = 39 m²
The area of the bottom trapezoid is ...
A = 1/2(10 m +17 m)(7 m) = 94.5 m²
The area of the shape is the sum of the areas of the two trapezoids.
area = 39 m² +94.5 m² = 133.5 m² . . . . area of the figure
__
PerimeterThe horizontal lengths are all marked, but the slant lengths are not. There are no angles or other information given that can help determine the slant lengths. In order to answer the question, we can assume that the trapezoids are isosceles. Then the base of the right triangle shown in the top trapezoid is (8 -5)/2 = 1.5 m. The height is 6 m. The Pythagorean theorem tells us the slant length is ...
s1 = √(1.5² +6²) ≈ 6.1847 . . . . meters
Similarly, the base length of the right triangle shown next to the bottom trapezoid is (17 -10)/2 = 3.5 m. The height is 7 m. The slant length of that one is ...
s2 = √(3.5² +7²) ≈ 7.8262 . . . . meters
__
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides. Note that the 17 m dimension includes 8 m that are not part of the boundary of the figure. The sum of lengths of the horizontal edges is ...
10 m +(17 -8 m) +5 m = 24 m
The sum of the lengths of the slant edges is ...
2·s1 +2·s2 = 2(6.1847 +7.8262) ≈ 28.02 . . . . meters
The perimeter of the figure is the sum of horizontal lengths and slant lengths:
24 m + 28.02 m = 52.02 m . . . . perimeter of the figure
The Kicking Cacti and the Sprinting Stingrays met in their town's annual kickball

Stingrays had 3 pitchers, and each of them pitched for the same number of innings.
How long did each of the pitchers for the Stingrays pitch?
Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.
innings
Using proportions, it is found that each of the pitchers for the Stingrays pitched for [tex]\mathbf{\frac{11}{3} = 3\frac{2}{3}}[/tex] innings.
This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.In total, the Stingrays pitched 11 innings, with 3 pitchers. Each pitcher pitched the same amount of innings, hence, 1 pitcher pitched x innings.The rule of three is:
3 pitchers - 11 innings
1 pitcher - x innings
Applying cross multiplication:
[tex]3x = 11[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{11}{3}[/tex]
11 divided by 3 has result 3 with remainder 2, hence, also considering the answer as a mixed number:

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.
