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!

A triangle has one angle measuring 3X degrees a second angle measures 2X +20°
Lena [83]
Answer : x = 20

Explanation :
3x + 2x +20 + 4x - 20 = 180

(3+2+4=9)

9x + 20 - 20
The 20s cancel each other out because one is positive and the other is negative

9x = 180

9x/9 = 180/9

X = 180 divided by 9

X = 20

Jane needs to buy mulch to cover a circular garden
scoray [572]

Answer:

$3089.4

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is a locus of a point such that its distance from a point known as the center is always constant.

The area of a circle is given by the formula:

Area = πr²; where r is the radius of the circle.

From the image attached, we can see that the garden is circular with a radius of 5.5 yard. Hence:

Amount of mulch needed to cover garden = area of garden = πr² = π(5.5)²  = 95 yd²

Since mulch cost $32.52 per square yard, hence:

Cost of mulch needed = $32.52 per yd² * 95 yd² = $3089.4
