Two cyclists leave a city at the same time, one going east and the other going west. the westbound cyclist bikes at 3 mph faster than the eastbound cyclist. if after 6 hours they are 162 miles apart, how fast is each cyclist riding?

if you can solve this, can you show your work and explain what i need to plug in where, and what equation i need to use? this is so confusing.

the barter

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
