Karen and Ricardo are 279 miles apart driving towards each on the same route. Karen drives at a speed of 59 miles per hour and Ricardo drives at a speed of 65 miles per hour. In how many hours will they meet?

They will meet in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At any point in time;

distance = speed * time

Let the number of hours at which they meet be x

In x hours, the distance traveled by Karen will be 59 * x = 59x miles

In same x hours, the distance traveled by Ricardo will be 65 * x = 65x miles

Since they are traveling in opposite directions, the distance traveled at that time by Karen will be less than what Ricardo has traveled since he is traveling at a greater speed

However, the sum of whatever they have traveled will be equal to the distance between them

thus;

59x + 65x = 279

124x = 279

x = 279/124

x = 2.25 hours

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

what grade level is this? need to know so i can look in my old textbooks!
