The scuba diver must descend 3 feet in the fifth minute to meet the goal.

Why?

To find how many feet does the scuba diver need to descend to reach the goal of 35 feet in 5 minutes, we need to calculate how many feet he did descend on the first 4 minutes.

So, calculating we have:

FirstMinute=9ft\\SecondMinute=11ft\\ThirdMinute=5ft\\FourthMinute=7ft\\Total=9ft+11ft+5ft+7ft=32ft\\\\Goal=35ft\\\\Needed=Goal-Total(4Minutes)\\\\Needed=35ft-32ft=3ft

Hence, we can see that at the 4 minute, he has only descended 32ft. It means that he need to descend 3 feet more in the fifth minute.

Have a nice day!

The unit rate in this problem is one payment per month. Since Martha has made 86 payments, that means it has been 86 months. Because of that, we can simply multiply 3335*86 to get 286810.

So she so far has paid $286,810 for her house payment

Step-by-step explanation:

(15×8)×2= 120×2= 240cm²

there's two side triangles with the same length and width, so just multiply by two.

2. area of the square on top:

20×8= 160cm²

3. area of the rectangle behind:

20×8= 160cm²

4. area of the square below:

20×15= 300cm²

5. the total of all areas (surface area):

240+160+160+300= 860cm²
