This is a race so grueling that often nobody actuaLLy finished. The race consists of five loops of 20 miles through the mountains of Tennessee. For those who make, iuo the last lap, the racers go in alternate directions around the course, which of course means they'll meet in the middle somewhere. Let's say that only two racers make it to the last lap, and it's close: In fact, both start the last loop around the, course at the same time. If one averages 2 miles per hour and the other 1.92 miles per hour, how 1 many hours would it be until they meet

step-by-step explanation:

7

step-by-step explanation:

could you provide figure.

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
