Let d represent the distance of the destination from the starting point.

After 45 min, Henry has already driven d-68 miles.  After 71 min., he has already driven d-51.5 miles.

So we have 2 points on a straight line:

(45,d-68) and (71,d-51.5).  Let's find the slope of the line thru these 2 points:

                                 d-51.5 - (d-68)         16.5 miles
slope of line = m = ----------------------- = ------------------
                                     71 - 45                   26 min

Thus, the slope, m, is   m = 0.635 miles/min

The distance to his destination would be d - (0.635 miles/min)(79 min), or 

d - 50.135 miles.  We don't know how far his destination is from his starting point, so represent that by "d."

After 45 minutes:  Henry has d - 68 miles to go;

After 71 minutes, he has        d - 51.5 miles to go; and

After 79 minutes, he has         d -  x miles to go.  We need to find x.

Actually, much of this is unnecessary.  Assuming that Henry's speed is 0.635 miles/ min, and knowing that there are 8 minutes between 71 and 79 minutes, we can figure that the distance traveled during those 8 minutes is

(0.635 miles/min)(8 min) = 5.08 miles.  Subtracting thix from 51.5 miles, we conclude that after 79 minutes, Henry has (51.5-5.08), or 46.42, miles left before he reaches his destination.

What is the area of the circle?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

363

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area of a circle

A = πr^2

Where r = radius

The circle has a given radius of 11

To find the area of the circle we simply substitute r in the formula with the value of the radius (11)

( Also note that the question says to use 3 for π )

A = πr^2

π = 3

r = 11

Substitute values in formula

A = (3)(11)^2

11^2 = 121

A = 121(3)

121(3) = 363

A = 363
