Cool problem !
Two pages of a book that face each other are consecutive integers, and one of them is even and the other one is odd.
So let's look at half of 69.
That's 34.5.
So let's try page 34 and page 35.
That works !
Answer:
Sue takes 3.3 hours to kayak 11 miles & marty takes 3.5 hours on her horse
Step-by-step explanation:
Sue's kayaking path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
so we use a squared + b squared = c squared
10.5^2+3.2^2=c^2
110.25+10.24=c^2
120.49=c^2
10.9768=c
and then because it said to round to the nearest tenth that would be 11.0 miles.
She's going at an average speed of 3.3 mph
that means it takes her about .3 hours to do 1 mile
so it would take her 3.3 hours to go 11 miles
marty is going at an average speed of 7 mph
so she takes 0.14 hours to go 1 mile
0.14 x 25 = 2.5
By solving a system of equations, we will see that the width is 170ft and the length 275 ft.

How to get the dimensions of the base?</h3>
For a rectangle of length x and width y, the perimeter is:
P = 2*(x + y).
Here we know that:
x = 2y - 65ft
p = 890ft = 2(x + y)
So we have a system of equations.
To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:
890ft = 2(x + y)
890ft = 2(( 2y - 65ft) + y)
Now we can solve this for y.
890ft = 4y - 130ft + 2y
890ft + 130ft = 6y
1020ft/6 = y = 170ft
So the width is 170ft, and we know that:
x = 2y - 65ft = 2*(170ft) - 65ft = 275ft
So the length is 275 ft.
