17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangle is isosceles, 2 of its sides are congruent; namely, the two sides that are opposite of the 2 congruent angles are contruent.

Because of the reason stated above, we can see that AC is congruent to BC, meaning that:

x+9=2x-8

-x      -x

9=x-8

+8  +8

17  = x

Notice that BC is equal to x, so 17 is our final answer.

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
