Evan is not correct. While 25 is 125% of 20, it was <em>not</em> 125% more. That would be adding on to the 100% already there, for a total of 225%. It's actually only 25% more because of this.

Answer:

Evan is not correct, because it seems like he thought 25 is 125% of 20. He did not spend 125% more time doing homework this week because it was like he added an extra 100% from his 25 hours of homework he did. Because of this 100% increase, the correct answer is actually 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 25%

I NEED HELP ASAP Find the area of this parallelogram.
Flura [38]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here b = 15 and h = 5, thus

A = 15 × 5 = 75 cm² → B

Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60
TEA [102]

Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is​ increasing is 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.

Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.

Let z represent the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

z² = x² + y²

To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes

2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1

One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that

dx/dt = 32

dy/dt = 60

Distance = speed × time

Since t = 0.5 hour, then

x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles

y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles

z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900

z = √1156

z = 34 miles

Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60

68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600

68dz/dt = 4624

dz/dt = 4624/68

dz/dt = 68 mph
