Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Oak tree = x

14 : x as 60 : 30

Simplify the right ratio

14 : x as 2:1

Get the same first number in both ratios by multiplying 2:1 by 7

14 : x as 2(7) + 1(7)

14 : x as 14 : 7

Since the first number in each ratio is the same, we know that that x and 7 are equal

x = 7

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you would like a further explanation :)

A bucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. The paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6t, where t represents t

Neko [114]

Answer:

A) A[p(t)] = 36πt²

B) 7234.56 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:

$\begin{cases}p(t)=6t \\ A(p)=\pi p^2 \end{cases}$

Part A

To find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, substitute the function p(t) into the given function A(p):

$\begin{aligned}A(p) & = \pi p^2\\\\ \implies A[p(t)] & = \pi [p(t)]^2\\& = \pi (6t)^2\\& = \pi 6^2 t^2\\& = 36\pi t^2\end{aligned}$

Part B

Given

t = 8 minutes
π = 3.14

Substitute the given values into the equation for A[p(t)} found in part A:

$\begin{aligned}A[p(8)] & = 36\pi t^2\\& = 36 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 8^2\\& = 36 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 64\\& = 113.04 \cdot 64\\& = 7234.56\:\: \sf square\:units\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes if 7234.56 square units.
