We will assume that we have a function relating between the time and the temperature. Any point in this function can be expressed as (x,y) where x is the time and y is the temperature (any point is expressed as (time, temperature)).

We have two points given:
<span>At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
</span><span>At 10 p.m. the temperature is 52 degrees F: Second point is (10,52)

The rate of change is simply the slope of this function, this slope can be calculated as:
rate of change = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
we have y2= 52, y1= 72, x2= 10 and x1= 7

Substituting in the equation, we can calculate the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (52-72) / (10-7) = -6.667 degrees/hours
Note: The negative sign indicated a DECREASE in the temperature.</span>

Answer:

3) \:  \: 113 {ft}^{2}

4) \: false

5) \: 70 {ft}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

3) Area of a circle is

\pi \times  {r}^{2}

Where r = 6

Thus,

area =   \frac{22}{7}  \times  {6}^{2}

area =  \frac{22}{7}  \times 36

area = 3.143 \times 36

area = 113 {ft}^{2} \: (nearest \: whole \: number)

4) False

Area of a circle is measured by the formula below:

area = \pi \times  {r}^{2}

5) The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is given thus:

area \: of \: a \: rectangle = l \times w

Where, l = 10ft; w = 7ft

area = 10ft \times 7ft = 70 {ft}^{2}

13 = 5m - 2<br> help please
babymother [125]
If you want to know what is the number of m so first you can add 2 on both sides of equation like : 13 = 5m - 2 
                            +2        +2 ⇒ 13 + 2 = 5m ⇒ 15 = 5m ⇒ 15/5 = m ⇒ 3=m :))
i hope this be helpful 
have a nice day

64 + b² = 289 (subtract 64 on both sides)

b² = 225 (square root)

b = 15
