The increase of the radius is a linear increase since we have the constant rate of 0.07 inches per second
The equation for a linear growth/decay is given by the form

where

is the rate of increase and

is the value of

when

We have

when
So the equation is 
The length of the radius when

seconds is


inches
You need to isolate p:
1.4 divided by 0.7 = 0.7p divided by 0.7 (this eliminates 0.7)
2 = p

Answer:
d = 3√10 ≈ 9.487
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is appropriate.
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
d = √((-3 -0)^2 +(2 -(-7))^2) = √(9 +81) = √90
d = 3√10
