Answer: 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The blueprints for a police station show that one of the lamp posts has a motion detector on it, and that the equation describes the boundary within which motion can be sensed. :

(x+14)^2+(y-6)^2=9 → which is a equation of a CIRCLE.

When we compare it to the standard form of equation of circle i.e. (x-(-14))^2+(y-6)^2=3^2 , we get the radius of the circle = 3

Consider the lamp post as the center of the area covered by the detector.

Then the greatest distance a person could be from the lamp and be detected = Radius of the circular area

=3 feet.

A car is traveling at a rate of
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

50 meters per second

3600 seconds per hour

1000 meters per km

50/1000 = 0.05

1/3600 = .0002777

0.05/0.0002777 = 180km per hour

180*4 = 720km in 4 hours
