Okay. fist off don't think of them as 5 units each, but 1. so if you were to put it on graphing paper and box squares each time. you would be able to get 8 in for both sides to make a square. Area then would be 1600ft squared because 8 ×5 is 40 and 40×40 is 1600. then you calculate how many squares you used. 8×8=64. and 80-64=16 so 16 pieces are left over. then 9×9 (increasing the square) is 81. so 17 pieces to increase it.
9 hours because 8 x 3 = 24 and 3 x 3 = 9
I hope this helps you
distance=speed×time
first cars time t
second cars time t+3
same distance
distance=55.t
distance=40. (t+3)
55t=40 (t+3)
55t-40t=120
15t=120
t=8
t+3=11
Let the radius of the circle be r. Then the line from the external point through the center of the circle which extends to the far point on the circle has length 3r .By the tangent - secant theorem
t^2 = 3r * r = 3r^2 ( where t is the length of the tangent).
So t = √(3r^2) = √3r answer.
