Dawn and lin took off on skateboards from the same location but traveled in opposite directions. after 20 minutes, dawn had traveled 6.42 kilometers and lin had traveled 7.7 kilometers. how far apart were they?

14.12 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of Dawn = 6.42 km

Distance from Lin = 7.7 km in the opposite direction.

If they went in opposite directions then they were moving away from each other.

Therefore, the final distance between the two can be written as follows:

d = 6.42 + 7.7 = 14.12 km

After 20 minutes Dawn and Lin were 14.12 km away.

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

1. for division, flip the second fraction.

2. factor the numerator and denominator completely.

3. divide out common factors.

4. multiply the simplified fractions.
