The original width was 94.71 cm 
<span>The area decreased 33.1% </span>

<span>The equation for the final size is </span>
<span>2X^2 = 1.2 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>

<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>

<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>

<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>

<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>

<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>

You are driving 12 meters per second. What is your speed in miles per hour? (1.6km=1 mike) EXPLAIN
Blizzard [7]

1.6km = 1 mike? Wow that guy is tall.

I think you meant 1.6 km = 1 mile? Okay then if we're going 12 meters per second how much would you travel in one hour? First we need to figure out how many seconds are in an hour.  There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour so:

60×60=3600 seconds in an hour

Now we will multiply that by 12 meters per second and we get:

12\frac{m}{s} \times 3600 s=43200m

And 43200 meters is 43.2 km (1000 meters in 1 kilometer) meaning 43.2 kilometers an hour.  Since there are 1.6 km in one mile we must divide 43.2km to 1.6.

\frac{43.2}{1.6}=27mph

And so your speed is 27 miles per hour.
