Well, how long will it take you to drive 135 miles at 55mph?

at 55 mph, you're doing 55 miles every hour, so we can simply get the quotient of 135/55 and that's how many hours it'll take you to drive 135 miles at that speed.

\bf \cfrac{135}{55}\implies \cfrac{27}{11}\implies 2\frac{5}{11}~hours\implies \textit{about 2hrs, 27 minutes}

so, it takes you that long, however, from 3:15 to 5:00pm there are only 45mins + 60mins or 1hr and 45 minutes, namely 1¾ hr.

so 2hrs and 27 minutes is much later than 1¾ hr, so, no dice, you can't arrive at 5pm, actually you'll arrive around 5:42pm.

From 3 pm to 5 pm is 2 hours, so you have less than 2 hours if you start at 3:15.

In two hours at 55 mph, you can drive 2×55 miles = 110 miles. It will take more than 2 hours to drive 135 miles at that speed.

Is it possible? NO
You cannot complete in less than 2 hours a trip that takes more than 2 hours to do.

The largest possible circle is cut out of a square whose side length is 8 feet. What will be the approximate area, in square fee
valentina_108 [34]
<h3>Therefore the area of remaining board  =13.76 square feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , The length of side of the square is 8 feet.

Since a circle is inscribed in the square. Then the diameter of the circle is equal to the length of side of the square .

Therefore the diameter of the circle is = 8 feet.

Radius of the circle is(r) = \frac{8}{2} feet = 4 feet

The area of the circle is= 3.14 r²

                                       = 3.14 × 4² square feet

                                      = 50.24 square feet

The area of the square  is = side × side

                                          = 8×6 square feet

                                          =64 square feet

Therefore the area of remaining board = (64- 50.24)square feet

                                                                 =13.76 square feet

Which of the following are solutions to the question below? Check all that apply.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 2x + 36 = 5x² + 10x ( subtract 5x² + 10x from both sides )

x² - 12x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)² = 0 ← in factored form, thus

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6 → D
