On an uphill hike Ted climbs at 3mph. Going back down, he runs at 5mph. If it takes him forty minutes longer to climb up than run down, then what is the length of the hike?

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

3 mi/1 hr  x (h hours + 2/3 hr) = 5 mi/1 hr  x  h hours

3h + 2 = 5h

2 = 2h

h = 1 hour

3mi/hr  x 1 2/3 hr = 5 miles

5 mi/hr x  1 hr = 5 miles

He hiked 10 miles. (

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

570, the answer is 570, hope it
